I've looked for this record after (gasp) having seen their
art-film/video on MTV. From what I've heard they are an "art
collective", which if you ask me ALL bands should be a part of. (and all
artists should have bands in their collective. Art Power!)
Is polydistortion the title of the album? Is it out in the USA?
