Artist description Fusing elements of Power Pop, Progressive Rock and Art Rock into one explosive package, kOMpOsT delivers melodic hooks with universal appeal -- not for the faint of heart or the unimaginative. Pregnant women and the elderly should not board this ride, as well as those with other medical conditions. The melodic equivalent of an atomic bomb -- perpetually dropping. You know, songs that don't insult you as a listener or a musician. Love-music.

Artist History So sad, how all the clowns have died. I was born with music in my head and heart, and I try to bang out the melodies whenever the inspiration hits. I like to a) write the melodic bomb-tune b) demo it asap and 3) move the fuck forward - NEXT! I can't see any point in being satisfied rehashing the same old tired shit over and over again; it's just gotten way too boring. So, I strive to be melodically different, unique, and, most of all, unanticipated. I LOVE freaking someone out over a chord change or some other change-up. It just makes the game more fun is all. Go listen to some Mike Keneally (www.keneally.com) for some Truth with a capital "G".
