So... what do you guys sound like?Aargh! The most hated question: what do you sound like. ubik has never had an answer... we aren't slavish to any genre, though we do use a few traditional genre flourishes here and there. But we're not the sort of group that can answer The Big Question with a simple "We're a punk band." (we are so very much not a punk band. or rock band, or a metal band, or...) well, you understand our problem.
So what do you call us? A few ground rules: First, we're digging for a quick descriptor, so the "genre" name is limited to five words. Second, no band references: "Rammstein combined with Soul Coughing" isn't really valid... for so many reasons.

Important to note:
"Post-Tom Robo Core" has already been floated as a genre, but is being discarded because it doesn't seem to actually describe anything.
digital mayhem..?
post-flux dissonance
Ha ha what the hell does that even mean? They'll have to listen to find out. AWESOME!
[edited for the word I was actually going for]
This is clearly going to take longer than we had expected...
In order for us to be post flux doesn't there at one time have to be a flux?
We may need to employ the knowledge of those metal geeks... they have a knack for quantizing genres to even specific bands if necessary. Never heard of so many names for yelling over top of a distorted power chord... And who the hell said "Digital Mayhem"!?!
ok Pr0to, you win.
How about,
Metal, like your FACE.
In about 2 seconds its gonna be Metal up your **ahem**
Alright... so check this out. I have no problem with the genre being totally made up. I think delivering as deadpan as absolutely possible to anyone willing to ask "Post-Tom Robo-Core" and then staring blankly into their eyes as if now the asker is meant to deliver a nod of understanding is an awesome idea. I don't, however, think the rest of the band is looking for that (unless of course the total nonsense that is offered is just too good to pass up).
For the record: I think post-flux dissonance is pretty excellent.
Last night we came up with
PsyProg-DriftCore... It hurt junya's brain.
