SPICOLI

Introducing SPICOLI, a ferocious delicacy on the world's voluminous menu of noise music. SPICOLI, as a music and writing project, has been performing and recording since 2007. Adhering to the fundamental theos of Power Electronics as well as a strict devotion to originality, SPICOLI is a concentration of grit and truth. Where other music projects, even some of his own, are dependent on the appeal of a toe-tapping melody or catchy hook, SPICOLI uses home-grown equipment to remind us of the dense vitality of distortion and conviction, continuously succeeding at offering us something more.

SPICOLI, originally an off-shoot from Minneapolis' luridly deafening and well traveled Monsters of Pot, is no stranger to the customs of travel. Having toured much of the United States with bands Harlequin, a dark and heavy trio utilizing timbers of amplified and distorted violas rather than that of guitars, or the blistering and compelling hardcore punk band QUESTION, who has travelled extensively in North America and Europe, SPICOLI is truly a musical missionary.

His catalogue of releases a wide array of flavors, and more titles than we as humans have phalanges. Most recently, SPICOLI has cooked up and dished out several titles on his own label Cauldron Tapes. His skill on guitar is shown on the new Question Self/Titled LP available on Fashionable Idiots, Black Noise Records, Six Weeks, and Maximum Rock and Roll Records. SPICOLI also has dexterity as a recording technician and his prowess can be heard on many of his releases and also those of bands on New York City punk label Toxic State Records.

Count on SPICOLI to give your stomach and stereo something to chew on while putting you on your ass with a bombardment of virtuosity and extremity
