Artist description Motorcycle Disciples has a long-standing reputation among their ultra-devoted fan base for being a progressive band that also retains a certain wild, out-of-control image, almost like a punk band. You can't really label the genre. When asked what they call their style of music, guitarist Ben Dover just laughs and says "I don't know". It's definitely what you could call "hard music", with walls of distorted guitar sound, spastic rythms in odd time signatures, weird lyrics about everything from various kinds of liquids to the C++ programming language, and an underlying rumble of bass and drums that you would expect to hear at a Rush concert. Tom Skelly of Kwok magazine said of their 1992 "Meat Plant" release, "This music is like a non-filter cigarette to a smoker, rotgut whisky to an alcoholic, or sweet, sweet choclate to a fat slob. The most extreme form of punishment, yet also satisfying."
