Artist description Many people who work stagnant office jobs often, after a number of years at their post, will question their existence, and think "what am i doing with my life?". Usually they will develop a sense of autonomy that is bad for business, casting off their employment, typically in a very conspicuous fashion (i.e. lighting their desk on fire, punching out their boss, etc), or otherwise losing their mind. Some businesses drive their employees to such a state quicker than others. The Corporate Angst Factor is a measure of this phenomenon. I can't describe us any better than that.

Music Style Corporate Chaos Industrial Noise

Musical Influences Home Depot, News programs, The Wall Street Journal... Musically we are more influenced by concepts of business and the nonsensical politics surrounding it than we are listening to old records, but for a more conventional answer, see next question.

Artist History History: One day in the secret Research and Development department at an unnamed powerful American corporation, Dr. Fuckenstein, the resident department head, was devising a way to increase morale within the business. Fuckenstein, Being the mad genius he was, decided the best option instead of merely improving employees on a case by case basis, would be to replace them outright. Yes, the good doctor saw fit to follow mad scientist protocol and attempt to create life. So after a myriad of failed attempts (84 to be exact) upon the 85th, he had acheived success. Trial #85 would soon become Employee #085 (meaning current employee #085, Roderick Bahnhof would have to be executed.) Employee #085 proved to be a stupendous worker, doing everything the average employee could at 10 times the efficiency. Dr. Fuckenstein won fame and prestige about the company for his work. However, the company had very high turnover for a reason: the stress drove the average worker crazy after a time. 85 being far above average, went haywire after only a few weeks. The Doc and his disheveled creation were turned out on their collective ear, but not before his creation was tossed into the company wastebasket, and the doc discretely taken out back and beaten by company thugs nearly to death. Despite his malfunctions, 85 clawed his way from the rubbish heap to find his creator nearly destroyed. Using some of his own cybernetic makeup, 85 restored life to the doctor. Although neither of them looked or functioned properly, they felt fortunate to have survived. Now lost, discarded, misfigured and without company benefits, the two conspired to wreck havoc upon their former place of employment, and the entirety of the corporate world!But in the mean time, they make music.
