THE LAYTCOMERS BIO

The year was 2011 in soul-sucking Fremont, California when two bored teenage miscreants named Ilya Shkipin and Cye Husain got indoctrinated into the ugly fringes of global underground rock. United by a shared love of unhippy noise and distinctly unlistenable rackets, they proceeded to make a properly terrible deafening ruckus on any instruments they could get their grubby paws on as the main songwriting forces. After shuffling through enough tragic abortive rebrandings to put cult deprogrammers out of business, The Laytcomers finally clawed their way into wretched existence years later.

This uncategorizably ugly spawn peddled a caustic gumbo of deranged indie shreds, knuckle-dragging riff-pounding, and bowel-looseningly harsh noise barrages to the unlucky masses. Until they disappeared into the abyss once more in 2020...

...but you can't keep an unrepentant cult down for long. The Laytcomers have risen again in 2024, newly re-aberrated and thirsty for the world's defiant aural deprogramming.  Their comeback kicked off with the single "Zombies (In My Bed)" - a pungent slab of b-movie psych-punk foreshadowing their full-length disease vector "Out of Sight, Out of Mind."

Ilya and Cye are still leading the depraved songwriting charge, with Ilya grinding bass and Cye torturing guitar strings.  And backed by accomplices Eric whaling on drums, John strangling rhythm guitar and bass, and cosmic key contributor Paul Menno, their distinctively motley blight is now complete.

The reprobate cult's resurrection is nigh, with new rites and seances already underway in putrid clubs and illegal basement shows across the land. Call it karmic penance for years of bland suburban malaise - or the unstoppable contagion you've been warned about all along. Either way, prepare the mass delousing...
