Lifetime Tick started as a side project away from my other band, but after going a while and realizing this was what I wanted to do, I took LT full-time. The sounds of LT range from Nine Inch Nails to Ministry, to TOOL to Radiohead.
Why this name?
What I want my music to do is be stuck to people, and just feed on them. Lifetime Tick is what would do that. Also, a frustration or sadness I'm feeling could be a Lifetime Tick. The origin of it came up because it just sounded good and stuck for a few weeks. But after a while I guess I found out it could actually mean something. Other than that it's just rubbish
Do you play live?
Rarely
Since it's a one man show with various instruments, it's hard to do that. Once a backing band is formed (all needed is drums, bass, and keyboard) I'll concentrate more on playing live.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
All that needs to be said about this subject has been said already
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would, determined on how the person would ask me. Like if it's someone who's like, "You're the next big thing!" or "You'll be a huge star!" I don't wanna be a big star or start a musical revolution, I just wanna get my music out there and hope people can enjoy it and connect to it. A lot of people when they say you'll be rich, it means, "You're going to make us rich!" Maybe if the A&R guy will jump in the pit.
Band History:
One day I started f*cking around with hard industrial beats and crushing guitars. Then I started screaming into a distorted microphone. That's where I started out with LT. I've gone through so many different sounds it's hard to know what LT actually started out as
Your influences?
Well since there is a ton of sounds in Lifetime Tick, it's hard to just describe what to completely expect. I can only give some examples of some songs. Like some songs will feature fist industrial drums and crushing guitars, with razor piercing vocals. And some can feature just a great clean chord structure and haunting and emotional vocals.
Equipment used:
Basically a Casio keyboard and an Gibson SG Guitar
Anything else...?
