Pitchshifter

PITCHSHIFTER

have been a mainstay in the British music scene for over 13 years.

below is an abridged biography of their achievements to date.

In

printed media

the band has graced the covers of magazines such as Kerrang!,

Metal Hammer, Rocksound,

Big Cheese and many more. They have

recorded numerous sessions for the infamous John

Peel Show (RIP) as well as become staples on XFM

and the Radio 1's rock shows in the

UK. Frontman J.S. Clayden was also the longest staring guest columnist

for Metal Hammer Magazine.



On

TV

the band have graced the small screen all over the world from

MTV's Fashionably Loud

in Jamaica to Japan's

Fuji TV. Pitchshifter's music has even

been used by industry giants such as Volkswagen

to promote the release of their new Vortex

edition Beetle.



In

movies

Pitchshifter's music has been used in major motion pictures, trailers

and soundtracks, from Mortal Kombat

(which earned the band their first platinum sales disc) and

Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck

& Uma Thurman, directed by John

Woo) to cult classic The Crow

and oddball Sci-Fi thriller Brainscan

starring Edward Furlong.



Video

games

are no strangers to the music of Pitchshifter. Hot titles such

as Test Drive, Twisted Metal, SX Superstar

& Rallisport Challenge 2 have all

used the music of Pitchshifter to dramatically enhance the gaming

experience.

In

the live arena

Pitchshifter's show is legendary. From the now infamous band-induced

stage invasion at the Phoenix Festival to

a piano solo with a sledgehammer at the Garage

Club in London, Pitchshifter's live show has always

been incendiary. They have played main

stage at the Reading Music Festival

and toured the UK, USA & Europe on Ozzfest

and Warped Tour. In fact, Pitchshifter

have wrecked havoc in over 25 countries worldwide alongside touring

partners: Deftones, Quicksand, Tool, Fugazi, Static

X, Black Sabbath, Incubus, Taproot, Hundred Reasons, Limp Bizkit

and many more. Pitchshifter even gave bands like Lost

Prophets and Therapy?

their first breaks as support acts on the road in the UK.



In

the studio

Pitchshifter have recorded nine albums. many singles (and their

accompanying videos) and made their own DVD. They have collaborated

with Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), John

Stanier (Helmet/Tomohawk), machine (Hed-PE/SEV/Lamb of God) and

Dave Jerden (Alice In Chains/Jane's Addiction/Offspring). On

the production side, Pitchshifter have commissioned

remixes from an eclectic mix of bands & DJs from Biohazard

to Fuzz Townshend to DJ

Punk Roc. They have also been asked to remix many

bands from Clawfinger to Stereophonics

to Pigface.



In

the office

Pitchshifter took the band/fan relationship to a new level by

starting their own record company PSI

Records. Why? To give the fans a better deal

on both sides of the Atlantic (- try a DOUBLE CD for the price

of a regular album for their first release 'Bootlegged,

Distorted, Remixed & Uploaded!') PSI

Records continues to this day with the recent release

of the Pitchshifter 'PSIentology'

DVD. New comers This

Is Menace featuring Mark Clayden and Jason Bowld

from Pitchshifter are currently in the studio set for a mid-to-late

'05 release of their debut album 'No End In Sight.'



On

the random side:there

was once an alien crop circle fashioned in the Pitchshifter image

(although to this day nobody has come forward as to its origin).

Singer J.S. was once assaulted on stage by right wing fanatics

for his antifascist beliefs. And last but not least, Pitchshifter

had one of their album covers banned in Poland!?

To

cut a long story short - no one can deny that

Pitchshifter have lived it like no others. Always innovative,

never compromising, Pitchshifter have stamped their own unique

blend of guitar-laden digital chaos all over the scene, indelibly

marking their place in British music history.
