Science of Defiance Science of Defiance

"War Pigs" meets Metallica meets nasty battle rhymes like you dream of...and then wake up sweating from. You'll nod your head, you'll pump your fist, you'll wake up in a gutter with mysterious bruises and swear to give up emceeing forever.

Proud to be Wack Proud to be Wack

Fast, aggressive rhymes, hard funk drums, and some seriously spaced production...a show of force compressed into three minutes and change.

2000 Maniacs 2000 Maniacs

An early track from OS, back by request of our pal Robert Berry from Retrocrush.com. Not our tightest production (and the verses are all uneven), but we're still pretty fond of it.

Alternative Hip Hop

CURSES! You've found the secret lair of OLD SCRATCH, where we're stockpiling our special brand of audio warfare until we decide that the time is right to make our move towards WORLD DOMINATION...and WORLD DESTRUCTION. HIP-HOP meets HARD ELECTRONICA in a knock-down, drag-out, Double-Hell Electrified Barbed Wire Deathmatch. Fast, complex battle rhymes over psycho-delic beats, just like Mom used to worry about you listening to. Demonic Sonics. Satanic Verses. What more do you need to know?
Band/artist history
Great minds run in the same gutter.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We're working on new music before restaging live shows, but it's our intent to be playing out often in the near future.
Your musical influences
Eric B and Rakim, Grand Puba, Goblin, Organized Konfusion, Ultramagnetic MCs, GWAR, De La Soul, Ice, Scorn, Heiroglyphics, Techno Animal, Meat Beat Manifesto, pro wrestling, giallo / zombie movies...culture high, culture low. We've been told that we have some similarities to the following artists: VOX- Dr Octagon, Rakim, Saafir, Organized Konfusion, Big Pun, LMNO, Heiroglyphics... BEATS- Meat Beat, Premier, Scorn, RZA, DJ Hi-Tek, Goblin, Bill Laswell, Spectre, Public Enemy ...but really, we kinda think we sound like ourselves.
