Psychostick is a comedy metal/hardcore band. You may have heard of us from your mom’s ipod.

When Baltimore based alt-metal act Dog Fashion Disco came to an end, it wasn’t the end of frontman Todd Smith, guitarist Jasan Stepp and drummer John Ensminger’s musical output.

During the near decade the group spent in Dog Fashion Disco, Smith and his merry band of misfits would amass a loyal underground following of fans (dubbed the “mushroom cult”) through countless tours with the likes of Slayer, Mindless Self Indulgence, Nothingface and Lacuna Coil. Although Dog Fashion Disco never achieved commercial success, their musical legacy gained the respect of musical contemporaries like Serj Tankian of System of a Down (who made a guest appearance on Anarchists of Good Taste),Mushroomhead and American Head Charge, while the group’s music lives on through the internet and continues to create new members of the “mushroom cult” long after the band’s demise.

While Smith and company may have become sick of living the vagabond lifestyle that a touring metal band requires, the thought of giving up music entirely never even crossed their minds. Within mere months of their former outfits demise the group had created a new group, Polkadot Cadaver to unleash their schizophrenic musical madness.

“Jasan and I decided to start a studio band and Polkadot Cadaver started as shells of songs on Jasan’s computer.

NATIONALLY TOURING FUNK / PUNK / METAL / EXPERIMENTAL ROCK BAND from DETROIT MI

Ideamen, from Chicago’s south side, are an intense musical experience, best seen live to appreciate. This piano driven act has toured throughout much of the U.S., growing their fan base & putting on a show that turns 1st time spectators into instant fans. Their first two releases, the currently out of print EP “Progress” & “May You Live In Interesting Times” are considered staples in the experimental post rock scene.

The moosemen of Prudhoe land were nervous. “You want to go to Amerika? Why?” asked the chief. “Because it is there,” said Naked Seconds, the small wheel-chair bound boy, barely containing his rage, “Someone must get into the giant metal bird and fly to Amerika to set them straight about a few things.” Thus the rebirth of Flood Damage began, helmed by insanity, new and improved, spreadable on toast. Beware.
