Your Vapid Television
Blending the high energy styles of techno and drum n bass with the heavy thrash of modern metal, YVTV takes an open-minded, intellectual approach to their music. Elements of prog-rock arrangement and cryptic, unusual lyrics give the listener more bang for their metaphorical dollar, while making YVTV a unique beast that is hard to totally define. YVTV is currently seeking talented musicians.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
YVTV formed from the ashes of Intake Factor during the summer of 2001, when guitarists Josh Money and Aeryn Musick left to pursue more electronic endeavors. Later that year they met up with local bassist/ engineer Adam Story and began an endless series of recordings. In 2003, Josh Money left the band and is now bassist/vocalist for Eyes Stained Black. In early 2006 they recruited Brian the crazy scot as a lead guitarist, and are currently breaking him in.
