about

Let me try to explain what this music is… These songs were created by playing drums to guitar loops using various effects pedals with minimal overdubs. Doing my best to make songs I can play live without getting too complicated. I’ve been in bands before (Helms, Dagobah, Pizza, Challenger). This project does not feel like a band. Creating songs in a band is a collaborative process where each member brings their own ideas and skills to the table. I see being a member in a band sort of like being one part of a construction crew all working together to build a house. Songs are like houses. I don’t see these Pterodan songs as houses.. you can’t build a house by yourself. These songs are more like structures that can be built by one person.. sort of like a shed. SHED ROCK.

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580
