Artist History
Formed in Kingston, Ontario, the band has been around since 1988, and has been making warped music thingies ever since. All band members were part of the campus radio station CFRC, thereby guarenteeing airplay at the time. They have all long since graduated and as a result band members are very geographically spread. But every year or so as many members as possible get together to record new dumb songs. |

Press Reviews
As cathedrals were the ultimate expression of man's yearnings during the age of faith, so commercials are the ultimate expression of man's desires during this present age of materialism. The most creative minds of our generation are engaged in the quest to develop ever more persuasive enticements to consume. Judging by their work, Miscellaneous S obviously play a crucial role in the conjuring of this zeitgeist. -- F.L.T. Luker, The Journal of Media, Economy and Milk Duds |
