Prainbork

Prainbork is the brainchild of <a href="spotify:artist:0VWsXJ4jGyo5bjF6hTnxni" data-name="Art Bertik">Art Bertik</a>-Marquez (<a href="spotify:artist:0GyLY8Z8lTuZo67gtSocMe" data-name="Despite Loyalty">Despite Loyalty</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5yRibNo0obHxiZEtjiEj7d" data-name="Strangled By Strangulation">Strangled By Strangulation</a>) and Manic Merganser (LA based cartoonist and graphic artist). Darbie Thundercleese (poet, crochet maker, and painter) joined in on the fun later. All three main members contribute to the lyrics, album art, and Art produced the music.

Similar to bizarre bands like <a href="spotify:artist:64mPnRMMeudAet0E62ypkx" data-name="Primus">Primus</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3dnH7fdVm2X07MK6Fkbhbt" data-name="Gwar">Gwar</a>, behind the satirical hysteria, there are advanced musical techniques like tremolo picking, sweep picking, and pick scrapes. The guitar work is ornate enough to rival extreme metal, while many of the choruses nod toward pop punk. The combination of these two genres results in a fast paced, thrashy sound. A strong visual element is key to their music, and several Easter eggs and inside jokes are concealed throughout their work. While it may seem crazy on the surface, this project is secretly badass. Intricate speed metal riffage and insanely catchy beats hide behind the humorous exterior. Surprisingly complex, this facetious band is a far cry from the normal slop that the corporate music industry feeds to itself.
