The band members, Mike Brown (vocals and lead synthesizer), Michael Buchanan (bass synthesizer) and Joseph Livingston (drums and vocals), played an early hybrid form of synthcore/industrial music based on an American hardcore sound played exclusively on distorted synths and live drums. Original members include: Jack McGowan (drums) Justin Hill (vocals) Tyler "Lefty" Stans (vocals). The band formed at Winter Park High School, Winter Park, Florida in 1982.
