___________________________________________________________________________Kkrusty (Mike Taylor) began making electronic music in 2004. After experimenting with many styles, he discovered chiptune (music made using or emulating the sounds of outdated video game and computing hardware) and began composing songs on the Nintendo GameBoy in early 2008. A true road warrior, Kkrusty has played numerous shows in Seattle, Hollywood, Pittsburgh, and all over the midwest. His music mixes sometimes sweet, sometimes epic melodies, pounding and danceable rhythms, (not to mention the occasional 80's hair-metal cover) and never fails to turn any room into a frothing mess of nuclear gleeful madness! You were warned.

"imgonnabeatthiskidsheadin" EP OUT OF PRINT
Debut release, featuring songs about love, mental disorders, and dropping it like it's hot.



"Robot & Religion"
The first full-length release, featuring songs about shitty jobs, natural disasters, being desperate, bitches, and televangelists battling giant robots.



"The Full Monty" EP
A bass-heavy release centered around numerous Monty Python quotes. It also has bongos and Eric Johnson.



"Egocidal Girl" Second full-length release. Features numerous epic orchestral arrangements entwined lovingly with eardrum-rupturing breaks, and a track with a message from a guy who was pretty mad at me.
"A Change Could Do Us Some Good" Newest release, and whether or not a change would in fact do us some good is still in question, because all this is is me blowing your face off again with songs about girls that fucked me up and whatnot.
