Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch, smarmy surf rockers extraordinaire, have the unique claim of the two most prominent Williamsburgs as their home. Originally hailing from Williamsburg, Virginia, erudite and visionary guitarist/vocalist MATT HARRISON and super-charged, sociopath dummer/vocalist HOLT RICHARDSON met in their <BUTTS> years at a tiny white-bread private high school. After they developed a disturbingly telepathic musical rapport, they began a professional affair with the Sound of Music in <BOOBS> Richmond, Virginia, and more specifically, with engineer Jonathan Demaio, who, when not touring with Southern Culture on the Skids and other top-notch Southern bands, has cut "The Bosch Sound" onto analog tape on many occasions. At this precise moment, Holt and Matt are probably in a sake-soaked <CARNAL> glow at the Snacky Lounge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, while bassist TONY PEI, the self-monikered balls of the group, keeps the boys liquored up and dreaming about a future filled with champagne, cocaine, and the chance to hunt whales in a hovercraft.

Heralded as musical historians by Stephen O' Rourke, formerly of the Nails, Hieronymus Bosch claims The Pixies and Frank Black, Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker, the Ventures, The Sonics, Link Wray, Man… or Astroman?, and The Gun Club as significant influences. The Bosch boys have sexed-up audiences with their surf rock and twang, but the Bosch shall not be relegated to playing BBQ joints or VFW halls. They're just too damn good for that <SEX>...

"Think of the Pulp Fiction theme combined with punk rock energy… Richardson's arms move at speeds unthinkable to most drummers, and Harrison has perfected the frantic guitar playing that he had brought to his previous band, the Space Program, resulting in what can only be termed a blast of auditory and visual brilliance." Columbia Daily Spectator, New York City
