Here's a live song and some odd video of what we've been up to on our 2009 tour so far!
Coming soon: a new split 7" with Silian Rail from SF out on Jazz Cigarette!!
Previously with The Unit Breed 2008 Tour!
Here are some videos of our Winter 2008 tour! Thanks to everyone who helped us along that road. Hope to see you soon.
For the last ten years Joseph Demaree and The Unit Breed have been hard at work. Constantly touring, recording, damaging ear drums and expanding minds across the US and Japan. They have a strong DIY ethic, producing a prolific amount of homemade visuals, music videos, paintings, and 6 full length home recorded albums. Taking influence from the taste of trees, unyielding light, tigers bellies, desert mountains, upside down submarines, and the ghosts of martyrs; The Unit Breed has created an unique surreal experience which bends reality, sight and sound.

New Disorder Records / http://www.newdisorder.com
"Lost Eyes is a double disc CD / DVD extravaganza. This is the 5th album by The Unit Breed, and it showcases the bizarre brilliance of the band. This is 55 minutes of unsettling, dark music. The DVD contains a movie version of the CD. This is the work of unacknowledged genius, and and has moments reminiscent of Sonic Youth or Fugazi, but remains unique and uncategorizable." -New Disorder
------------------------
Looks like we have two songs from our "Lost Eyes" album on a French TV show called "Ben et Thomas", a teenage skateboarding show. Being Human is in episode 5, Lost Eyes on episode 2,5,7. For more info check out
