Avant, progged out, psych, helicopter grind -- Tusks aural barrage has been categorized with some random appellations. Truth of the matter is, the more out-there the genre description, the more obvious this fact: Its fucking out there. Amidst surgically precise blasts, frenzied vocals and fret board savagery to make devout fans of all matters of harshness raise a horned-hand salute, youll find a willingness to experiment: sitar, slide guitar, mandolin, swirling keyboard passages.
Basically, theyre to bedrooms in Chicago suburbs what Lightning Bolt and Arab on Radar are to Providence, R.I. Get it? No? Try this on for size: Its Discordance Axis by way of Yes "Close to the Edge" or a German-schooled Acme maelstrom played by fans of This Heat and Don Caballero. And a singer who professes his lyrical "chaos bordering on collapse" owes a debt of gratitude to Tom Waits, though he sounds more like a strangled banshee or the Germs Darby Crash.
Current members are in Pelican (Hydra Head Records) and previously did time in Hinckley, Disembodied and Long Live Nothing.

I'm listening to your latest release right now guys. The use of Toby's and Evan's voice on the songs, however sparse, adds a great dynamic to your already dynamic songs.
I was in a music store the other day and I heard your new album playing. It was so good that I had to ask the guys working there who the band was and I ended up buying it. Keep up the good work.
SoundSurface says thank you very much! I like your Sound and the Music is really great!! Be creative and rock the Future!!! I wish you all the Best! Hear ya. Greetz from Germany :-)
