Artist History BIO un.der.ground (un’der-ground’) adj. Of, pertaining to, or describing an avant-garde movement or its music; usually privately produced, having special appeal and often concerned with social or artistic experiment. Guerrilla Transmission was formed in the summer of 2000. Four veteran members of the Washington, DC underground scene came together with a commitment to create anti-mainstream music that is experimental and edgy. Rock music has been dissected in so many ways it has become incredibly difficult to create something we haven’t heard. We have made a pledge to not follow mainstream patterns/styles of writing, at least strive to break the typical mold with epic songs that are reminiscent of the classic underground scene of the late 60’s and Vietnam era. Bands such as MC5, the Byrds, and later Pink Floyd began expanding the sonic possibilities of their music. Instead of embracing concise verse-chorus-verse patterns of rock music, they migrated toward more free-form, and fluid song structure. GT has an acid rock vibe that is menacing and ethereal. The band incorporates elements of electronic voice & instrument alteration, creating swirling layers of fuzz-toned guitar, and chanting vocals styles. The experimentation of song and sound come very close to falling apart at the seams, while supported by an intensely guarded rhythm section, the music gives a feel of controlled chaos. The band’s smooth, warm melody is juxtaposed with the drama of violent thrashing guitar/bass riffs, and concise and machine-like drumming. Guerrilla Transmission is a band that plays with the passion and purpose of a train about to derail only to right itself when you least expect it. As members of former hardcore/punk and metal acts out of the early 80’s, the influence of bands like Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, and Slayer can be detected in their blend of hard rock and psychedelia. Without abandoning the raw nature of their background, the music has combined distortion and mania together in a cohesive explosion of modern day acid rock. The American underground scene that once cultivated an era is alive in the sounds of Guerrilla Transmission, as they move along in secrecy capturing the tone of our nation with relevant, avant-garde music. guer.ril.la or gue.ril.la: A member of an irregular force operating usually in small, independent groups capable of great speed and mobility. trans.mis.sion: The state of being transmitted; a voice or message.
