This is what happens when 2 Sony hand-held cassette recorders and 2 circuit-bent Pioneer cassette recorders mingle with a CD skipping with noises that I end up editing and looping.

ISLE OF MAN

nice place - clean water - 
fresh air - blue skies. 
like pirates - we tried it - 
we took what we deserve. 

half million - years later - 
we used up - our reserves. 
we're crying - what happened? - 
we get what we deserve. 
we get what we deserve. 
we get instead the isle of man - 
the isle of man. 

I've wandered - through forests - 
with our garbage - waist high. 
can't clean it - I mean it - 
we get what we deserve. 

rainy mornings - dry evenings - 
it's growing on my nerves. 
just gases - you fascists - 
you get what you deserve. 
you get what you deserve. 
you get instead the isle of man - 
the isle of man. 

I'm writing - this letter - 
so no one - will forget - 
some future - cave dweller - 
will find these notes an isle of man -
the isle of man.

Pseudocide: 22 Going On 23

Complete discography available:
https://pseudocide1.bandcamp.com/
Pseudocide first started with Kadin Contois and Will Thornton during the earlier parts of 2013 at a place performing open mic. It could have been something considered Slamdustrial NoiseDrone in genre. They decided to  do something other people weren't doing in the area: an audio response against the mainstream - a message of what went wrong with the foundations of humanity - oh yeah, and a big middle finger to the wannabe dave matthews acoustical "bands" that are making the music scene around the Fredericksburg area stale and predictable. 
During the first half of 2014 this became more of a solo project with Kadin Contois. The genre focused more on the spoken word, industrial, noise, glitch and mechanical drum beats than it did a year earlier.
The 2nd half of 2014 brought Will Thornton back into the mix with Paul Keily (and James Balster for a few songs). 
.
The whole purpose of Pseudocide was to record ten worthy cds of material in a one year period (and this is at an age when most bands struggle with writing ONLY ten songs in the same time frame). This has been accomplished and we are still moving forward with newer recordings.
