Thanks for taking the time to check out AUSTEN'S DEAD, so SPREAD THE WORD. Now on to the description...According to popular opinion, we are misogynistic, women-beating, hateful people who are out to ravage your 16 year-old daughters before slaughtering them and discarding their battered cadavers in the shallow waters of Boston Harbor. In reality, we are nice guys who play hard music with lyrics that border on "unacceptable" but are well thought out and don't always mean what they seem to convey. In other words, don't just listen to what we sing, READ it and, if you still don't get the message ASK. Either way, we are here to stay so GET USED TO IT. Boston is ours now and we will devastate anyone who stands in our way. Peace to our friends and ten middle fingers to our enemies.

Artist History We formed a long time ago, went through many changes and are now quite happy with the current line-up, which features musicians from a wide variety of musical influences and training. If anyone is truly interested in our full history, visit our web-site and read the bio. Or e-mail us and we'll send you one with a smile.

Group Members Corey Grier (lead vocals/guitar/Satanic torture of girls), Chris Barone (drums/percussion/percussive effects/serious head problems), Greg Aghajanian (guitars/saying dumb things that make us all laugh), Roach (bass/clumsiness/Chewbacca), Bill Slack (co-lead vocals/passing out/throwing up on our toilet) and Karina (dead female torso.)

Instruments Two guitars, bass, drums, two vocals, all members play percussion live. All members also have severe drinking and/or drug problems. Karina just hangs around on a noose because, well, she's dead.

Press Reviews We have been reviewed in many zines including The Pit Report (R.I.P.) Guillotine, The Noise and Savage Threat. The Massachusetts newspaper, The Patriot Ledger began a blurb about us with the words "The sensitive fellas from Austen's Dead..." and we're pretty sure they were being sarcastic. We have an interview coming on in Lollipop magazine and will be featured on the new Web-site ZoOnO.com. Other cool stuff will be coming up.

Additional Info SWINIAN LAW is the ONLY LAW. Misogyne is a GIFT to be CHERISHED and not taken for granted. Use it wisely.
