Description

Picture disc single

Triclops was a San Francisco and Oakland-based Acid Punk/progressive rock band formed in 2005. Combining the discordant velocity of Drive Like Jehu with the vocal mania of the Jesus Lizard and the dense psychedelia of the Mars Volta, Triclops immediately became a local favourite and their energetic shows began attracting press attention virtually overnight. They released two full-length albums, a 7″ picture disc single, and an EP on noted independent record labels Gold Standard Laboratories, Alternative Tentacles, and Sick Room Records. Triclops! includes members of noted bay area bands Victim’s Family, Fleshies, Bottles and Skulls, and Lower Forty-Eight. Triclops! albums are composed of lengthy, epic songs with often-spastic structures. Complex, aggressive guitar lines and a driving rhythm section competed for space with strongly melodic vocals, which were frequently obscured beneath a bevy of vocal effects; this sonic juxtaposition earned strong critical reactions, both positive and negative, for the band’s releases.
