Artist History Out of NY comes a 4 piece Rock Band w/each member coming from total opposites of the musical spectrum. The group is about to have their debut CD "Wilted" released in the spring of 2003 w/ an upcoming support tour to follow. Each members completely different musical style is combined to create a sound truly their own. The CD was recorded from November 02 to May 03 at Millbrook Studio’s in New York. All tracks were scrapped and the band started all over from scratch. The final product after months of frustration clearly speaks for itself. The band's much anticipated tour and live shows will run throughout the summer and into the fall. The group HUMAN X formed in Poughkeepsie NY in the year 2000 and within 3 years a following of true fans has formed. During this time the band has written 3 albums worth of material and survived the growing pains of a rock and roll band. Members of HUMAN X have created and polished a live show which pleases fans and audiences from several age groups and genres. HUMAN X is made up of 4 talented musicians with years of experience. Lead singer T.C brings a vocal style to the group that sets the band apart from any other. Growing up in MA. and playing the Boston/N.E scene, T.C cut his teeth at age 16 playing in such bands as Suite Revenge, Sudden Impact, Vibe Tribe, and the Trendies to name a few. T.C's influences include Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Chris Cornell currently of Audioslave & and former frountman of Soundgarden, and Steve Perry formerly of Journey. Left handed bass player Brenner born and raised in Beacon NY and started playing guitar at 5years old which was taught by his mom. He also played in bands throughout high school and later refined his skills with bands such as Manifest Destiny, Ominous and Malignant. Brenner's influences include Geezor Butler of Black Sabbath, Gene Simmons of Kiss and Kerry King. Lead Guitarist Frank DiFabio who's interest in guitar started at a mere 12years old and continuing throughout high school, Frank would go on to study classical music and flamenco he also did jazz in Hockstein's school of music and holds an associates in Audio Engineering. Frank's influences include Randy Rhodes from Ozzy Osborne, Dave Mathews and His Father Frank DiFabio. Drummer Jiyo was born and raised in Beacon NY, and began playing at 7years old and at age 11 he got his first kit. In school bands he spent time taking lessons from world renowned teacher Charlie Morana of the Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa fame. Jiyo Studied and played big band and jazz. At age 15 he started playing with bands such as Mean Malin and the Soul Patrol, The Generation, Heavens to Mergitroid and Aunt Mary. Jiyo's influences include Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche, Neil Peart of Rush, Peter Criss of Kiss and Stewart Copeland of the Police. The making of "Wilted" proved to be a challenge for the band as far as choosing material. There were many songs to choose from as the band continued to write more material during the making of this record. Add to the fact the first 16 songs were completely disposed of. Then the group decided to take a different approach on the recording technique and selection of songs. Fans and audiences can relate to the songs as they describe everyday life and reality to humans. Songs like "Words" that describe "Relationships gone bad, discovering lies". "Circles" which describes life, having a bad day. "Wilted" about life and time passing by. T.C who writes the groups material and presents it to the band for their flavor likes to be alone when writing and often digs deep inside his mind, soul, and surroundings. T.C hears music first, hums something apparent to him, and then adds the chorus, bridge and lyrics last. Add to that Frank DiFabio's classical, jazz, flamenco, and rock guitar. Brenner's left-handed death metal fill. Jiyo's big band, jazz, and rock back beat to the mix. Now you witness the unlikely but most powerful sound that is the band HUMAN X. The bands philosophy is simply stated as such: "This is a description of emotional true feelings and everyday life" Human X stands for One World & One Life.

Press Reviews "Members of HUMAN X have created and polished a live show which pleases fans and audiences from several age groups and genres." - MORE SUGAR "Anybody who knows anything about Hudson Valley music has probably heard of T.C., the band's lead singer and acoustic guitarist, formerly of Monkee Boyz fame. But T.C. has long matured past his jungle antics by cultivating his own acoustic originals, and pumping them up." - RHYTHM AND NEWS "There's a storm raging in the Hudson Valley and it's name is HUMAN X! This band is an entity to be reckoned with, spawning forth a following that is growing and spreading like a virus from their contagious presence. Displaying audio and visual illusions that are stunning to the senses! HUMAN X has opened for National acts such as Third Eye Blind, Telsa, Godsmack, Sebastian Bach, and The Pushstars...to name a few. Anyone with local knowledge of the music scene willrecognize the barrage of sound textures, songwriting prowess and energy only HUMAN X can deliver! Frontman T.C. commands attention with his hypnotic and haunting guitar riffs and melodies created by his own unique style. Guitarist Frank brings forth uniquely crafted leads with melodically textured riffs. Bassist Brener delivers an abrasive edge on bass that will blow out your chest cavity and leave you gasping for more. Percussionist Jiyo ties it all together with a machine like sophistication that can only be recognised as pure precision. Their abilities, coupled with a presence that is both eerie and addictive, leaves their fans thirsting for what is to be HUMAN X's evolution to the highest degree. HUMAN X takes their fans on a journey through sight and sound that burns into the mind and leaves a lasting impression that will forever change the way the rock band is perceived!" - Tom O'Reilly, MORE SUGAR
