brainiac

or

3RA1N1AC

(1992 - 1997)

Brainiac was [and is, depending on how you view the musical passage of time] a four-piece gang of feral alien-cyborgs from the dystopic horizon of the imminent future. With their unique blend of wonky vocal modulation, harrowing yet danceable guitars, disturbingly humorous lyrical content as well as a moog synthesizer in their space-toolbelts, these misfits can rock your socks off to the next dimension! *Totally tubular!* Tragically curtailed by the passing of frontman Timmy Taylor, Brainiac only existed here on Earth for around 5 years. Though we may never know the rest of their intergalactic magic, we gotta appreciate what we have! It's pretty out-of-this-world! *Cringe*
