Artist History 1986: Unable to find music that combines the beats and grooves of disco, funk, and hip hop with the abrasive power of rock, punk and metal, Daniel uses two record players to play his older brother's Black Sabbath and his parent's K-Tel disco albums at the same time. He loves it. His family thinks it's sacrilegious.1987: Brian discovers that forcing down numerous drum beat buttons on "the most cheesy-ass sounding organ ever" at the same time makes it sound much better. He later discovers that this eventually breaks it.1991: Daniel, Brian and three other friends form the band State of Deviance. Over the next six years they play numerous shows in their home of Peterborough where they develop a reputation for their shocking stage antics. Shows in Toronto lead to recording a track for the True Independence 2 CD compilation. This garners the band airplay on university stations and "The Indie Hour" on Toronto's EDGE 102.1997: Brian moves to Toronto to work at a recording studio. He and Daniel decide to branch out on their own. With Brian writing the music and Daniel taking on lyrical duties, they spend two years crafting an album that is more focused and more creative than anything they had done before. Wanting to concentrate fully on the music, live shows are put on hold. A full band and even a name are not tackled until recording is complete. 2000: Conform has the honor of being the first release on the brand new independent label, 14 Blue Records. It features nine songs as well as remixes by Ben Swarbrick of Toronto's Vegasphere and Pier Shu-Lutman a/k/a West Magnetic (Ohm Records artist).Since it's release, 2 songs (Dying Wish & Despair) have been featured alongside Lamb, Everything But The Girl and Rob Zombie, on the episodic television series Nikita.Kill Transmission have also been selected as finalists on Toronto radio station EDGE 102's "New Rock Search 2000"
