Beyond the uncanny is the sublime. 

My work is the culmination of fourteen years of art education in which I continuously found myself drawn to German Expressionism, Dada, and the Romantic Painter Casper David Friedrich.  The songs that I create are a fusion of styles and I owe a lot of my creative investigation based on the sounds created on early Skinny Puppy albums, Cabaret Voltaire, and The Cure's Pornography.

The album covers are an extension of the music and are popular culture isotopes that have been destroyed through the use of wave generators.

Following graduation in 2003, I found myself working in the style of Mike Kelley without really knowing who he was.  I found the uncanny negated itself too often and left me feeling hopeless.  So, my current work is in hopes of moving past the uncanny.  To live in the now and return to the sublime.

POUNDERS are a rock power trio based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their style blends infectious melodies, catchy hooks, driving bass lines and snappy rhythms.  POUNDERS has a unique range of tastes that influence their music, including rock, punk, metal, dance, and hip-hop.  The staple of the band is by far their live performance and the amazing energy they display to their audience.  POUNDERS have taken the bay area music scene by storm and proudly wave the flag for the resurgence of rock and roll in California.

This trio literally owns the stage with their electrifying stage antics, creating buzz each time they perform, leaving audiences longing for more.

With the release of their new album "Chasing The Sun" in Winter 2010, POUNDERS have been persistent in getting their music out to the masses.

What makes this band even more special is the individual accomplishments of the band members.
