The Unsigned Countdown

Just What We Were Built For

Thank you so much for the support! We don't do this for fame and glory. We built this project because we are like you. We love turning friends and family on to new music. We were the guys that were bringing the mixed tape to the party. And we are still doing it today. Creating a podcast for the bands to gain exposer, for the fans to discover maybe the next great sound. And for me most importantly to stick it to those fat cat record executives that think they know everything but are only out to make the music industry a generic sound that can be made in a machine.

We are not like any other show you will ever listen to. We are a community. Once a band is featured on The Unsigned Countdown and discussed on The Underground Recap Session. They are a part of our growing family. We only promote the musicians bands and artists featured and we are not bound by sponsor requests or restrictions. We have helped unsigned and independents collaborate for years now. We are eager to interview and have done live feed talks with some of the best. We continue to communicate by having artists join in the Recap Sessions, and coming back again will be the long awaited Bandangout.

An Epic Return...

Oh. and hell yeah! It's another Underground Recap Session. In this the first of two chaotic months of backstage situations we managed to pull it of. A great conversation reviewing the Top Five bands and songs of February was had and the cast of co-hosts was as epic as the discussion. Have fun and enjoy the episode. Please return next month for an epic list of what the judges are calling completely brutal top to bottom group of metal songs

Technical situations...

Oh geez. This month does not get any easier with the attempted Recap recording. On our third attempt to connect using our Hangout studio Andy, Jacob, travis, and I did finally get going but the issues continued with a massive lag in response time that drew my attention away from the actual conversation. I apologize in advance and a huge thank you to the guys for remaining up beat and pro like during everything.

Thanks for supporting The Unsigned Countdown and Underground Recap Sessions. We do this because we have a love for pure unfiltered music. Tune in and share away. Join the community and send one of your songs over to us now!

Destroyed For Comfort Info

Band Members

Rani23 Baker + a rotating band of co-conspirators.

While many feel comfortable using canned or frozen Electro as their soup base, Destroyed For Comfort prefers to whip up their Electro from scratch, using fresh ingredients. We go heavy on the samples and are not afraid to spice things up in an unconventional way effects-wise, while mixing in traditionally enjoyed flavors like analog synth and 8-bit sounds.

Fronted and founded by art-school dropout r*23 (Rani Bakr), DESTROYED FOR COMFORT utilizes both found sound and real-time synthesis to create stompy, noisy, sample-heavy 8-bit hacker-punk that never sounds quite the same way twice, or ever. Disorienting sonic textures and mangled vocals set the tone, complementing surprisingly danceable beats. Performances frequently include backup dancers and projected animation. Interested in meta-meme reprogramming and cheap beer. We'll play in your backyard if you ask us nicely enough.

DESTROYED FOR COMFORT has been honored to share the stage with a veritable who's who of independent and experimental electronic music over the past decade, including (but not limited to) acts like Author And Punisher, Bozo Porno Circus, CeVin Key, Cry Blood Apache, The Emotron, Eric Archer, Femme Fatality, I Cactus, Juiceboxxx, Krista Muir, Ludivico Technique, Malekko, Martin Rev, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Otto Von Schirach, Peelander Z, Realicide, The Subliminator, Talmadge D'Amour, and Yip Yip. DESTROYED FOR COMFORT has also performed remix work for Houston Bernard, Suicide God Pill, and Christopher Anton, with mo
