What's your musical style? It's hard to say for sure. We play around with several genres I suppose. We do industrial punk and sort of maul it with hip hop and carnival core. We've come to call it SHOCK-POP. Beth Ann and I work together on a lot of live show antics and performance ideas. We're really dedicated to putting on a visually entertaining live show.
Musical / artistic influences? I really have no idea. We all come from different music backgrounds. But it seems we meet somewhere between White Zombie, Rage Against the Machine, Mushroomhead, and Smashing Pumpkins when we were writing this album. We get most of our influence from cartoons, video games, dirty movies, and we all have a pretty sick sense of humor about life.
What's the story behind the band's name? It was my stage name when I started the project years ago. So when things started picking up, I just came to call the band Astrid Haven as well. Mostly because when the project started, it was a side project for the band I was working with, and something I would continue later myself if things never worked out.
Brief history of band: We got started back in 2002 when M.breeo's band was on hiatus. We cut a couple of independent recordings and never really left the Carolinas much. We built a great following, and the SiHK took over Charlotte, and most of the other cities around the area. Then things with the group split up and we went on hiatus for a while, popping up rarely to do a gig here or there in 2006-09. Then last year we got together a great line up and started working on a new album, and we just finished it. And we all agree, it's the best record any of us have ever been a part of. We're really proud of this work.
Past albums? We did a demo album called Lullabiotics, and a couple EP's (The Anti-Malgam EP, and Scum, *** and Bubblegum)
Any projects you're currently working on? We just finished up THE REBiRTH OF VULGARCADiA. The CD Release party is at Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte NC on 3/6/10.

Random Lancaster Photo: Spirit of Lancaster
A mural by Columbia, SC artist Ralph Waldrop provides a backdrop to a small park on the corner of South Main and East Arch streets in downtown Lancaster, SC. The park was established in 1976 as a U. S. Bicentennial project. Local volunteers helped with the mural, which features actual Lancaster residents walking forward together.
Civil War Significance: In February of 1865, Union General Judson Kilpatrick made his headquarters on this site while occupying Lancaster during the War Between the States.
