Artist description From the ashes of San Diego's fetish, Severance was formed...in Florida. We're still trying to figure that one out. Anyhoo... Kate (Vocals, Programming, Keys, Kick Ass Tattoos) began a quest to seek out the best and brightest musicians in the Orlando area to begin Severance. The best and the brightest were unavailable so she first settled upon Ron (Keys, Programming, A disposition towards the overly complicated) who's musical styleings can best be described as "forlorn". Pretty soon, in one of the greatest mistakes ever made, Mike (Guitars, Schadenfreude) joined the fold after a long run with Washington DC's Naked Fringe. Though some have described Mike's guitar playing as "haunting" and "atmospheric", upon hearing him most agree his playing is "sloppy" and "out-of-tune". Next into the fold was Cory (Drums, Vacant Stares) a recent Boston transplant. Corey is by far the most talented member of Severance, and our understanding is that his family has been kidnapped and is being held in a break-away Russian republic - they will not be harmed so long as he plays. Finally came Florida's own Scott (Bass, Programming, Keys, Insomnia) who bides his time both with Severance and Human Factors Lab. Scott studied bass as a music performance major until he said bullocks to it all and decided to go Kayaking. Severance brings a unique blend of organic and industrial music to the masses, much like a band of Borg troubadours. With an intensity that is not so much "electrifying" as "wind-up music box" Severance has been seen gracing the stages of establishments far too good for them. Calling on influences such as Herb Alpert (without the Tijuana Brass) and Lawrence Welk, Severance's "Artistically-Sound Heavy Champagne Music" will be blowing bubbles across the nation this spring. Plans are in the works for a full fledge album around the same time, but let's face - those few kids interested in it will probably just download it anyways.
