A biography of
pseudo-quack axiom
This mysterious group of Texas musicians trace their
origins back to 1999 when this young group of five trailblazing musicians first
did battle with the expectations of corporate America and defined themselves as
indefinable. Featuring
a group of performers with diverse influences and insane
musical styling this group feels no remorse in breaking down conventional
wisdom's idea of what a band should be. pseudo-quack axiom is as much a group of
friends making music for each other as it is a band that fans have come to love
and admire. Combining modern metal sensibilities with soulful and intense
melodies PQA pushes forward our idea of what a band can be.
With Joe Williams providing dark churning vocals and
intensely dark and driving lyrics this band could find a home amongst many of
today's metal bands. His deep growling voice combined with the churning rhythms
of PQA are reminiscent of many of metals great bands but uniquely original and
difficult to define but easy to enjoy.
PQA is given a sense of mystery and macabre by the stylistic and haunting
keyboards of Arthur Drueppel. He carefully weaves his notes into the framework
of the song in a way that always adds to and never detracts from the music. He
gives PQA a definite sense of the dramatic, and adds to the songs exactly what
is needed giving the song added dimension.
Gerald Drueppel's vocals are emotionally charged and
driven by a determination to reach the listener on his own terms. this heartfelt
and spontaneous spark ignites the songs and brings them a human dimension that
is both personal and energizing. His lyrics are deep and thoughtful testimony
that scream out at the injustices of the world.
Raina West's thundering and driving bass lines hold
together and solidify the band and bring a consistency to the diverse influences
of the group. Her five string bass propel the songs along while giving them
color and texture which add to the allure and mystery of the group while
expertly holding together the center.
David Lazarus provides solidity and a sense of energy. his seven string
guitar provides a solid core to the songs and drives them forward towards an
inevitable climax. His vocals create a haunting melodic backdrop that help
to draw the listener in. His occasional guitar solos are melodically
driven bursts of energy which seems spontaneously created.
