Bio

The Science is based on the life of Ricky Snaffi.
At age 23, Ricky has been involved in various well received underground N.C. acts of the late 1990's such as 'Legend of the Overfiend" and "The Phantom Zoelle" whom were included 3 of the first 6 Bifocal Media releases.(bifocalmedia.com) Although Ricky was brought up in the same local scene that harbored acts like "the Valient Thorr", "Municipal Waste" "Farewell" and "Polvo", He has been able to compose a unique take on Pop music without shunning away the roots of his underground up-bringings.
