Before Myke Chilian played in THE MANX and before Dameon Thompson adopted his ANEMOMETER moniker, the two played in CO-OP together for the better part of the early 2000’s. A quirky mixture of ultra-aggressive electro-grind, pop, metal and music made for toy commercials, the band produced a ton of music including theme songs for film festivals and The Sarah Silverman program, etc. This “COMPLETE RECORDINGS”, more precisely titled “ERROR 404 CORE and THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS” includes just about every recording the band has ever done.

Grindy guitars, oddball accordion riffs, and twacked out synth sounds lay an intricate tapestry of aural madness which only compounds ten fold once you add vocals by all 5 members. The band might best be described as “THE LOCUST meets OFFICE SPACE meets THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS”…

FFO: The LOCUST, They Might Be Giants, Mr. Bungle, The Aquabats, GWAR, Melted Bodies, etc.

THE SOPHOMORE LP FROM CALI-ORNIA’S FINEST GOO-CORE MISCREANTS THE MANX. FEATURING GUEST APPEARANCES BY JUSTIN ROILAND (RICK AND MORTY) AND JUSTIN PEARSON (THE LOCUST, DEAF CLUB).

The album mixes psycho-surf, math-rock, and death-metal with synth-pop, shoe-gaze, cartoon-punk and beyond… All resulting in a kind of hodgepodge of “GOO”. That’s why they’ve decided to call it “GOO-CORE”… Produced and recorded by TOSHI KASAI (MELVINS, TOOL, QUI, etc.), the record takes you on a journey through digital fire and hell-scapes, cartoon kingdoms of rabbits and surfing larva queens and beyond…

FFO: The Locust, GWAR, The Aquabats, MELVINS, Mr. Bungle, Melted Bodies, Man Man, Leftover Crack, Buckethead, etc.
