So Useless is just this band, right? Apparently for some sort of perverse reason, you might actually want to know more about us personally... or that's what we've been told. I'm of the opinion that it's all some sort of joke and these details will be used to fill out sweepstakes entries on our behalf, but bios being as they are I feel compelled to write one. So here goes.

Useless is a band. A collective of pre and smack-dab-in-the-middle-age guys who really don't know the reasons that other guys gave up playing real, live, ORIGINAL music. For free. On inconvenient evenings. For ten people at a time. It's all just a mystery to us as to why anyone would want to stop doing that.

We all came from different bands as tends to happen. Since this will start to get incestuous, I'll try to make it short. Pork Chop and Pork Sword both came from Pork Chop Express, a fabulously successful cover/original project. MONO and RFDS most directly from SEEDS OF CHAOS. Also Ahab, our founding drummer along with RFDS founded DAY OF PIGS and SEEDS as well. MONO and The King played together in GHETTO MILITIA, The King and Ahab in WARGOD years back and even before that MONO and The King kicked around basements in BURNING ISSUE. MONO killed it in the hardcore band OUT LOUD back in the day and The King spent the late 80's in THE CAUSE and FRIENDLY FIRE, the early 90's playing metal in WARGOD then experimental metal/indie in BAXTER and the mid to late 90's recording and touring with OS101. Looks like a big fail on the "keep it short" tip huh?

So I guess you want to know what we sound like, huh? Yeah... sorry to disappoint but there's an EP for that. Or our shows. So get yer lazy ass up and go see one. As far as what WE listen to.... well of course there's Black Sabbath. Along with that you've got Motorhead, Clutch, COC, Down, Kyuss, eyehategod, neurosis, deftones, a killer stoner rock band called Solace (check 'em out) and for some reason our singer loves LOA. He sings pretty well, so we let him off on that one.

We play loud. We play anywhere. We usually wind up playing for free. So sell your own F*****G tickets.
