Artist description Formerly "Glowtest." Sitting in the dark with the transistors that buzz and hum in the green-sillhouetted haze, the members of no. 13 fall into an ozone-induced electrotrance. Through them, the throaty muse begins to speak...

Musical Influences Quite a few. I tend to prefer the offbeat and the dark or bittersweet to the accessable and perky.

Artist History When a priest of the Church of the Subgenius totalled my motorcycle (I kid you not) I bought this keyboard that I had been salivating over but could never afford. I used to go into the keyboard store and freak out on how intense the sounds that the synths made were. I bought an old Korg but as soon as I got tired of just hearing the weird noises, I wanted to learn how to play. I started getting into 4-track,then guitar, and eventually it all snowballed into this huge thing :).

Press Reviews DreamscapeLittle bit of Smashing Pumpkins influence, maybe? Wherever it comes from, it sounds good! Strong songwriting and a lot of imagination in the instrumentation and performance. The bass and drums work great together and lay a really solid foundation for the really sweet guitar work. Vocals are great too, a really personal style; the vocalist sounds very comfortable and confident. I'll definitely listen to it again. "Zarathustra - Blacksburg, Virginia"sort of like NIN, but with less energy. Very atmospheric. Well recorded." gonewrong - Los Angeles, California"Good song. Good recording. Vocals were weak at first but then seemed to carry the music.. This band is radio material ... the song is pretty good and heads and tails above the other songs Ive heard today just in the fact that the recording was good." mrEASTCOAST - Manassas, Virginia"good band…..i'm sure you got a following ... not bad …!"heavypro - Reno, Nevada"this shits alrigt" zbungle - St. Albert, Alberta, Canada"Dramatic, Expressionable, and Intense!It's pretty cool!

Ishtar - Scranton, Pennsylvania"tight ass shitbest shit ive heard in awhile" DuMbFaCe - Monterey, CaliforniaDope Sounds Smethod - Sacramento, California Great productionIs this a interpretation of Lean on Me? The beat sounds like that Lean on Me song in the beginning. Too slow for my tastes though, although it sounds good. dek44 - San Jose, California this was a cool songI think It is a very soothing song and It is very nice ecoute - Orlando, Florida good stuffsounds original moscow - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia etherealI like the ethereal mood - definately something to gel to. missioncontrol - Orange County, California Pent Emotioninteresting harmonies in the chorus...unique mix...U2ish...took a while but I got into it as it went along... strobicaxe - Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Good to the last dropThis song has all the qualities in repeat listening.
