<br />
Genghis Tron want to eat your brains.<br />
<br />
Well, maybe they don?t, but they do want to at least poke at it a little.<br />
Their new album ?Board Up The House?, evokes vivid emotional responses from<br />
panic to relief, hope to despair, and just about everything in between. And<br />
the best way to manipulate moods in such a way is to manipulate sounds, which<br />
is what Genghis Tron does best.<br />
<br />
Forming four short years ago in Poughkeepsie, New York, Genghis Tron ? Mookie<br />
Singerman (vocals), Michael Sochynsky (keyboards), and Hamilton Jordan<br />
(guitars) ? set out to create something left-of-center, and like their<br />
musical tastes, that couldn?t be easily pinned down. With Singerman?s varied<br />
vocals, Sochynsky?s keyboard wizardry turning blips and beeps into pulsating<br />
rhythms, beats, and ambient backdrops, and Jordan?s fret-board shredding and<br />
stream of memorable riffs, Genghis Tron created something that can only be<br />
described as new and totally unique.<br />
<br />
Genghis Tron began their first substantial touring on the heels of their<br />
first demo and subsequent EP ?Cloak of Love? (Crucial Blast, 2005), gigging<br />
with a range of diverse bands from Dan Deacon to Daughters, Yip, Yip to Death<br />
From Above 1979, Usaisamonster to Magrudergrind, and everything in between.<br />
<br />
The writing evolved slowly but morphed into what would become 2006?s Kurt<br />
Ballou-produced ?Dead Mountain Mouth?, their first full-length album. ?Dead<br />
Mountain Mouth??s darker, more dense approach was lauded by the international<br />
press (AP, Rock Sound, Decibel, and more) and stoked by the bands<br />
ever-expanding touring across the North America and the UK<br />
<br />
In early ?07, the band signed a deal with Relapse Records (after over a year<br />
of conversation between the band and label) and relocated to Philadelphia to<br />
begin working on ?Board Up The House?. The band broke from writing only for<br />
choice tour opportunities; a US Tour with Kylesa, dates with Pig Destroyer,<br />
Rob Crow, The Red Chord, and appearances at several festivals including SXSW.<br />
<br />
Genghis Tron?s painstaking year of write-and-tour, write-and-tour concluded<br />
when they returned to Ballou?s God City Studio in the fall to record ?Board<br />
Up The House?. The album?s title track has been posted on the band?s MySpace<br />
page (MySpace.com/GenghisTron) to serve as a preview until the album sees its<br />
international release in February 2008.<br />
<br />
Genghis Tron have currently wrapped up a tour with The Dillinger Escape Plan,<br />
and have unveiled extensive world tour plans. So if you should see three<br />
rabid-looking figures off in the distance one of these dark winter nights,<br />
you may want to prepare to ?Board Up The House?.<br />
