Fun Stuff > BAND
You must check out this band!
rawrXskittles:
Dope Stars Inc., straight out of Italy. They are some of the best cyberpunk I have EVER heard. You MUST listen, preferably to Rebel Riot. *drool* Cyberpunk, ahhh...
Erm, http://www.dopestarsinc.com/home.htm. Just check it out, you won't be sorry.
Inlander:
Cyberpunk's a musical genre now?
sp2:
I was pretty sure that the musical equivalent to cyberpunk is industrial.
Cyberpunk is a literary movement within the sci-fi genre. Maybe you could extend it to various hacker movements. Maybe.
Technically, though, CP basically just claims that technology becomes ubiquitous and will eventually start to blur normal concepts of identity, such as gender, age, rage, self, and so forth. So really, the day trader who does all his transactions online is just as cyberpunk as the hacker with poor hygiene who breaks into government files.

Hmm, not bad actually. Though hardly original. I mean, they're not even the first band basing themselves a bit heavily off William Gibson novels. Zeromancer have been kicking around since, what, '98? And Cybergoth culture itselfs been kicking around since the 80's...probably the only such genre where music prefigured the literature. Cybergoth literature only really started popping up with Alastair Reynolds.
This seems a bit...unoriginal though. And it's a bit false as well. There's nothing particularly punk about them. It just sounds like industrial rock music to me.
If you like this, you should check out Hanzel Und Gretyl, Zeromancer, Carfax Abbey, Angelspit and The Count Nosferatu Kommando.*
Still, not that bad. Kinda disliking the attitude though. I feel bad listening to a band that uses the word 'Muthafuckas'.
*And also real industrial and ebm music.
Kai:
Count Nosferatu Kommando is ace.
