Caustic Pleasures is an expression of strain, anguish, love, hate, pain, and pleasure through the amalgamation of an organic approach to electronic instruments, samples and sound manipulation, a synthetic approach to guitar and bass. An almost tribal use of acoustic and electronic drums, metalic percussion and the glorification of noise and the inherant flaws of analog sound creation.
Caustic Pleasures is an art band, a punk band, a goth band, an industrial band, a metal band, and when in comes right down to it, Caustic Pleasures
is none of these.
We've done a lot of live shows around vancouver over the past few years, but this EP is it for the band now, we've gone our seperate ways.
