Biography
Digital punks? Industrial trancesters? Breakbeat Jungleists?
Cartoonish ravers? Tectonic metal-heads? Angstcore artistes?
Serving a dash of trash and a twisted mix of aggressive guitars, Gothic overtones, and techno poly-rhythms, Los Angeles' SouR explodes with a dense, throbbing meld of alternative hard rock and electronica.
Featuring Sativa Novak on vocals, guitarist DD Ehrlich, bassist Clint Yeager, and drummer Tom Curry, SouR's dark alchemy emerges from a sonic landscape akin to the Lords of Acid, Garbage, Basement Jaxx, Ministry, and Stabbing Westward.
SouR have been seen and heard via numerous college and commercial specialty metal radio play-lists, licensed for commercials, DVD trailers and TV shows, A Tribute to NOFX (Cleopatra 2002- "What's The Matter With Kids Today"), and on A Punk Tribute To Metallica (Cleopatra 2001- Am I Evil).
Nihilistic, erotic, brooding, acerbic, celebratory, and hypnotic, SouR's Exactly What You Think It Is has ten tracks of charging riffage that breathes new life into a cloying genre.
