Brendan Canty's collaboration with Rich Morel, henceforth to be referred to as Deathfix, started when the two of them were touring in Bob Mould's band, and has flowered under the dim lights of Brendan's toasty warehouse studio. They have been writing songs for two years now. Getting lost in their own devices. More guitars, more everything. Both singing. Lots of love for 1972. Fully analogue attack on the computer. Feeling good enough about it all now and ready to release it on Transmission LTD recordings. With the addition of Devin Ocampo on drums and Mark Cisneros on bass they are now ready to drive, elevating Deathfix beyond the studio project realm and into a live machine. Technology is helpful but it's not everything!
