The Amino Acids

STUFF TO KNOW:



BIO, FROM SOMEBODY ELSE:
(probably a disguntled former member)
The group of extraterrestrial parasites known as "The Amino Acids" crashed to Earth in 1962 (or 1965.) After a brief and unsuccessful attempt at securing human hosts - and some say a meeting with J.R. "Bob" Dobbs - they managed to just slack off and hiberntae for over thirty years, emerging finally sometime after "X-Day" in 1998. This time they succeeded in taking human host bodies but for some unknown reason they started an abrasive, instrumental surf-core band instead.



Little is known about what caused these (or any) paticular humans to be chosen for "duty" by alien beings. Inhabited human hosts enter a fugue-like state with extremely compulsive and impulsive tendencies which has be refered to as "Parasite-Induced-Somnambulistic-Trance" (or P.I.S.T.) and can be likened to sleepwalking, although sleepwalking with a purpose. They have a strict doctrine of not communicating verbally with humans under any circumstances, and should be considered very dangerous - they have said to have been able to exert an "influence" over humans around them. Why creatures from outer space would neglect all of the usual stereotypes of alien invasion behavior- i.e.- slaughtering the masses, enslaving humanity, breeding giant lobsters - only to merely play "punk rock" is not entirely understood.

The less you understand, the better we like it.



WHAT REV. IVAN STANG SAYS ABOUT OUR NEW ALBUM:
"The new Amino Acids album "Humanity Will Fall Like Pins" could be called "music to ride an experimental test rocket bareback directly into the Sun through a dense meteor shower while beating back attacking robodemons with bare fists by." One might alternatively term it SciFi Surf Punk Masked-Man SuperVillain Metal. Previous albums might have fit the "Superhero Metal" genre but this is definitely more Brainiac and The Joker than Batman or Superman. (But it's still KINDA Superman and a whole lot of Batman.) The Ennio Morricone of surf-rock!"
