| The Locust is a group from San Diego, California, United States.Singer Justin Pearson has said, "I just want to destroy music in general."These erratic elements are, according to guitarist Bobby Bray, "a reflection of perhaps how our brains have to function in order to be able to do anything in the Western societies we live in."Over the years, their sound has changed several times.Members include Justin Pearson, singer and bass guitarist; Gabe Serbian on drums, who replaced Dave Astor; Joey Karam on vocals and the synthesizer; and Bobby Bray on vocals and guitar.Unlike most bands, which normally have the drums set up behind the other members, the four members of The Locust are all positioned in a line at the front of the stage.The group recommends that in order to get the full impact of the band, one should see them live.In their lyrics The Locust satirize mainstream US culture, sexuality, and politics.Gabe Serbian and Justin Pearson staged a wedding while in Hawaii.Also, as a hoax Justin and Scott Beibin (of Lost Film Fest, Evil Twin Booking and Bloodlink Records) appeared on an episode of Jerry Springer, and shared a kiss.An unknown party released a bootlegged record purporting to be a The Locust record, but actually only containing recordings of crying or screaming babies.The record is known as "Mystery Screams".Locust 7" record titled "The Only Element That Matters Is Einsteinium" was released by the label I Don't Feel a Thing some time ago, containing only animal calls and not actual songs.The song titles are convincingly real, as they're very random and perfectly disguised as normal Locust songs.CD and 7" with bonus tracks in 2004.Follow the Flock, Step in Shit 3" CD on Three One G (2003), tracks from split 5" with Jenny Piccolo and one extra track.This is the website of a one Ben Wilson, a man in a town name of Louisville, in the great state of Kentucky in the United States of America.This is the blog of a one Ben Wilson, a Louisville, Kentucky native who enjoys baseball, beer, music, things that fly and good food.By day he pushes pixels and makes the Internet happen for a local advertising agency."Are you sure you want to block this user?CLICK TO PURCHASE "THIS IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE" DVD FEATURING THE LOCUST!What did you want, sonic inducer, sheep in wool coats dumpster diving for forever hidden treasure?Circumstances prohibiting, if the Locust could've soundtracked the previous two World War's they probably would've.Time ain't always on our side.Here is New Erections, eleven tracks deep and somehow totally anthemic, throbbing in the void of those past limps crumbled by planes and bleak brains, blanketed by soft skulls with electric socket glory holes for eyes that worship the steel wool pulled over them.New Erections, a celebratory prost!No more domes stuffed with down tissue, right?C'mon stiffs, we must demolish and level together...New Erections is exactly what we wanted.How bout some Australian dates afterwards?Melbourne, that's all I need, hehehehehe.I'm excited for the Jan 30th Portland date...Fucking shit fuck motherfuck.But the door sucks so bad i dont think i can make it.THE LOCUST we wish you a haaaapppppyyyyyyyyyyy 2008filled with great recordings and performances and creazativity...!Your new album it's very fast and sick he..The brass knuckles to my Bruno.I'll see you at Dillard's.GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES TO MILWAUKEE!!!DONT GO TO SHIT FUCK TEXAS !!CHECK OUT OUR NEW VIDEO!Happy New Year 2008,Singers and dancers,Beautiful spirits,Happy faces,And who has a happy face and is not happy.And keep us safe from feeling attacks.Happy New YearNew born,Children,Orphans,Children who are left behind,And children of future humanity."Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Text messaging for business!See Members ListYou are Anonymous user.Is anyone still using LCS?Locust operates 3 mailing lists.Send and receive email on your phone, locate and chat with other users, search information sources and much much more!Locust users that Locust is currently free with no subscription payments required.This makes Fastxt unviable.This can be used to connect to either the Locust AIM or Locust MSN gateway.OrangeImagineering as per the announcement in December 2001.UTC (6490 reads)

Pearson's manifesto on The Locust's official website.An impressive goal, to be sure, but he's still got
some personal obstacles to navigate before he comes close to it.Over the eight years since its conception, The Locust's lineup has assimilated a murky hardcore gene pool
in which Cattle Decapitation's David Astor and The Album Leaf's Jimmy LaValle have soaked.These black
sheep have helped to cement The Locust's status as the causes celebres of the new hardcore movement.The Locust tend to gain the most leverage when they echo
Pearson's primal screams and mainline their ferocity through frayed studio wire and blown speaker cones.But trying to pick through the cacophonous
catharsis to explore these themes is as fruitless as attempting to transcribe the explosive guitar phrasing
that rips up the mix, leaving it bleeding and sore like a fresh suture.The Locust is best experienced as an entirely
carnal, sensory experience.Purists might prefer this earlier work to the more textured approach of late,
but what are purists doing listening to The Locust anyway?The bassist is wrong, they aren't going to change anything at all, and, in fact, they
hardly even seem like they're trying.But then, as any virus coder can attest, the most effective means to
corrupting a system is to Trojan Horse your way in and mutate it from the inside.Water turns to blood; prize farm animals keel over dead; darkness and disease cloak the earth; ha...Even if you haven't heard one note played by the Locust, chances are you've heard
a lot about the...Chromatics Night Drive
Of Montreal If He Is Protecting Our Nation, Then Who Will Protect Big Oil, Our Children?Amy Winehouse Frank
Saul Williams The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!But they quickly lurked around a corner and disappeared from sight.Kneeling down to see how badly he was hurt, I could distinctly
see four sets of teeth marks running down my dog's spine, with
a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of each. |
