L.A.S.’s Crime (the initials stand for “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime”, a famous short novel by Oscar Wilde) is an electronic band from Siena (in the medieval tuscan, center of Italy) founded in 1984 by Sandro Marchetti (vocals, synthesizer, programming) and Maria Elena Brogi (vocals, synthesizers).

With a music sometimes soft, sometimes melancholic, but always fully electronic the duo from 85 to 89 L.A.S.'s Crime produced 5 demo tapes (Five Lies '85, Anomaly '87, Inanitas '87, Electa '88, Korobi '89) and a studio album (Abyss 43) registered at Sound City studio of Florence, but remained unreleased for label close.

During the five years of activity (85-89) the band had various additional members for the live concerts, but the original nucleous always have represented the true creative engine with more than 60 songs in a few years...Some of this songs have survived for 25 years exclusively for users' choice, spreading through the web.

Today, thank to the italian label "Mannequin", 13 selected songs can have finally a new life on vinyl, giving to the listener a small piece of 80's remained intact...

L.A.S.'s Crime - B7 - Frenesya

Influenced by artists such as Coil, Cabaret Voltaire, and Skinny Puppy, Textbeak started creating music in the late 80s with Todd Sines. Together, they worked on various projects and eventually formed B/Re (Body Release) with Titonton Duvante and Charles Noel. Textbeak (as his project Bath) later signed with Jevan Records (run by gothic band Lestat) and recorded with producer Kramer (Shimmy Disk). He has since released solo works under the name Textbeak on various labels.   

Textbeak has performed at many events nationally and internationally, opening for notable artists such as Modern English, Merzbow, Nitzer Ebb, The Legendary Pink Dots and Meat Beat Manifesto. He has also remixed tracks for various artists, including Architect (aka Daniel Myer of Haujobb), ∆AIMON, Blush Response and Bestial Mouths. His 2016 album, Sick For Songs A Season Eats on Cleopatra Records, featured collaborations with Mark Stewart (The Pop Group), John Fryer (This Mortal Coil) and more.  

His new album, ASEMIC MUSICK, is planned for release in late 2025 on the Industrial Detroit label and features collabs with Antoni Maiovvi (Ye Gods), Brood Faye, Other, Broken Nails, Gwendolyn Dot and more!

Well it starts with proto punk [Ramones] & early synth stuff [DEVO], then 80s alternative [depeche mode] & dark wave [clan of xymox]. While at the same time including heavy/industrial [Sisters of Mercy, Front 242] and on to witch house. It just keeps getting better.
