monsters of coporate manslaughter

i thought i'd enter us for the snickers kerrrang! download unsigned band battle competition, so i wrote a biography.

rebessica formed in spirit when grilly and laurence were jamming on a speed metal version of radiohead's 'myomatosis'; or perhaps when thom handed grilly back a heavily munged-up version of his song and mission statement 'love'; or maybe it was when the three artificial intelligence graduates realised they were never going to get girlfriends and should do something with all the free time that gave them (tommy joined later, their friendship cemented by a mutual respect of street fighter 2 and bal-sagoth).

taking their name from the super-hero bighead's unrequited love, rebessica play a baffling mixture of indie, math, prog, and turbo-death-grind-shit-the-bed-core, with influences as diverse as dubstar, system of a down, kelis, radiohead, aphex twin, dillinger escape plan, and scott walker (you know.. that kind of thing..).

i think that sums us up quite nicely.
