Stylex
Formed in 1999 this 4 piece from Ohio created a schizophrenic texture of music. People with drum machines and synthesizers shouldn’t be able to make music this alive.
Tight Scrapes
Released 2011.
XLR8R says: Expect nothing short of electronic mayhem when you're dealing with Ohio's own Stylex, whose latest release, Tight Scrapes further solidifies the state's reputation for producing some of the most interesting post-punk and synth-based experimentation around. The band has shared the stage with the likes of The Liars, Enon, and Hot Hot Heat, and judging from the photos available on their website, their live show is not one to miss.
The Village Voice says: The musical equivalent of the Japanese hero Godzilla, Stylex are at war with the same technological nightmare that spawned them and that threatens the very existence of humankind. But instead of battling nuclear fallout monsters from outer space with fire breath and eye lasers, they use guitar and screaming with Devo/Trans Am synth sounds in reverse.
