Pist*On

The official Pist.On YouTube channel.
Formed in the USA in 1993, PIST.ON have released two albums - ‘Number One’ through Fierce Recordings/Atlantic Records in 1996 and ‘$ell Out’ through Mayhem/Music For Nations in 1999. In addition the band released the independent 'Saves' EP in 2001.

The Brooklyn based band is built around core members Henry Font (Vocals / Guitar), Burton Gans (Guitar) and Jeff McManus (Drums) together with new bass guitarist Jack Hanley (ex The Deadlyz). Their sound can at times be difficult to categorise, mixing extremely heavy, mid-paced guitar riffs with occasional vocal harmonies. Possessing an acute grasp of extremes, they manage to maintain a pop edge on tracks that aren't self-congratulatory enough to be metal, are too witty to be goth, and far too accessible to be freaky. PIST.ON's unique perspective to their art, sombre dedication to their music, and the bleak, dark humour proves their most charming characteristic.
