Artist description Joe Kurve. Bent, Sick, and Twisted.

Music Style Forget mainstream, I am everything you have never heard. Slowed-down hip-hoppish techo, trance, and twisted jungle. Intricate melodies, complex build-ups and releases. These songs tell stories. All you gotta do it LISTEN.

Musical Influences Astral Projection, Take 420, NiN, Tool, Metallica, Crystal Method, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Falsegaud, Cook. Any and everything underground, for that is where new, truly artistic stuff comes from.

Similar Artists Probably Chemical Brothers or Crystal Method...them types. I've been compared to everything, tho, from Frankie Bones to Nintendo.

Artist History Started out playing tuba in the school band. Progressed to playing bass guitar in jazz band. Fiddled around on the bassoon. Quit band. Still thirsted for music. Graduated to computer based trackers and then pianos, drum machines, sequencers, grooveboxes and synthesizers. And then I got my tuba back. :)

Press Reviews "Odd amalgamation of industrial, techno, and hip-hop covered in itchy acid effects. Catchy melodies mold to stiffened rhythms." - Listen.com
