  • Bio

    .. .. .... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Through years of researching the possibilities of sound, both acoustically and electronically, all over the wastelands of planet earth, West Nile survivors developed their own brand of something that might be called music. Although this music is difficult to categorize, there are recognizable elements of all forms of music. Because this music is a result of experimentation with multi-instrumentation and things which produce sound, Life has been created from Nothingness. This is why the particular trio has named itself No Use For Humans. Theologians believe that they derived the name from their hatred of the human race. Some also believe that they came up with the name because they couldn't work in bands with other people or vice-versa. Others just think they have a sick sense of humor or maybe they're just plain sick. Either way, live shows have been described as "seeing three people on stage but hearing twenty". In the music's most simplistic state, No Use For Humans is a movie for your ears, a very bizarre movie. Progressive math rock rhythms, haunting melodies, multi-ethnic, multi-genre beauty, unbearable sorrow, and sonic annihilation. Something for artsy-fartsies, metal heads, hippies, punkers, jazz snobs, and teeny boppers....well, maybe not...but your Mom would like them. You will love them. .... .... ..REVIEWS .... .... I was thinking late Eighties speed metal when I first saw the amateurishly drawn cover, but a look inside revealed that there was only guitar on one track, as NUFH are a New Jersey three-piece more at home with keyboards, bass and drums. Band founder and rhythmical backbone Steve Honoshowsky is an incredible drummer but also plays the bass guitars and a couple of keyboards, while additional keyboards are delivered by Sean Wegeler and Alicia Testa, the latter being also in charge of incredible sexy vocals. So much for the easy part. I have listed now already countless times to this strange piece of music, and it is still impossible to describe. NUFH have the craziness of a Frank Zappa or a Mike Patton, but without the intellectual burden. Instead you get a full dose of sick humour, encased in solid workmanship from all people involved. The opener The Mission is a nervous dance tune with moaned vocals, whereas the following Jihad comes with an oriental feeling and some of the most sensual vocals I have heard in a long time. If those first two tracks still have an appearance of normality, the short Humanoid shows the band from its weird instrumental side. Where many modern synth bands rely on computers, NUFH keep their rhythms played manually, making for a fantastic organic sound. It's especially the crazy drum patterns that put NUFH on such a high level. NUFH also have a more melodic, accessible side. Awake and especially the radio-compatible Nothing sound like a livelier Björk, while 007 vs Vampiros Lesbos and Heretic liberally quote from movie history. Guest vocalist Adeo adds hip hop vocals on Ms Pac-Man Meets Twiki. And the craziest moments come with instrumentals again. Ass Goblin and Whore Of Babylon are quasi-prog gems that are so angular but never aloof, instead keeping all the time a sense of humour not unlike the Asian BDSM proggers Ars Nova. NUFH demands a lot of attention. This is at no time an easy album, but it's this confrontational clashing of genres that makes it one of the most refreshing and daring albums of the year. ..Disagreement.net -Luxenbourg... .. .. .... .. .... ...... ....Contact Info.... ..1 Little York-Pattenburg Rd..Milford, NJ 08848..

    The native-born Jamaican Marvin Anthony Burnett aka Sledgy was born in St. James at September, 27th in 1973.
    At the age of sixteen he came with his brother to Germany to stay with his mother and live a better life. Shortly afterwards young Anthony got down with rapping.
    To do music brings a lot of joy to him. Music is a great pleasure for Sledgy; he feels committed to make music.

    It helped him through his hard time after his entry into Germany which was totally foreign to him at that time.
    After he had rapped a long time for himself to take his mind off his worries, Burnett signed a contract with the label Power Jam Records.
    With conclusion of the treaty his music career begins.

    Under the name of Marvin Burnett he performs onstage (YOU) two times and at Funworld, Bodensee. Furthermore his music appeared on Radio K?ln and Radio 7.
