Faxed Head

Faxed Head is a "desk metal" quintet headed by Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle fame, with Gregg Turkington (aka Neil Hamburger) on vocals. The band's bios and lyrics describe them as 'teenage survivors of a suicide pact gone horribly awry,' and place them in small-town Coalinga, California. Band members' identities are generally kept secret and the band may have a somewhat revolving lineup. Much of their music is a combination of speed/death metal and tape noise and effects. Songs occasionally cross into lampooning genres like classical (House of Spirits), a capella crooning (The Four Freshmen), and rap (Coalinga Love, a parody of California Love by Tupac Shakur).
The band will release new material in 2013 with a June performance at the Dept of Labor Festival in San Francisco, California.
