Akimbo

Akimbo has barreled their way through the United States and Europe over the last seven years with all the fervor of a terrible demon army bent on conquest.

Akimbo has barreled their way through the United States and Europe over the last seven years with all the fervor of a terrible demon army bent on conquest. Forging a path of righteousness with a thunderous sound and a menacing presence in today's underground rock scene, Jon Weisnewski (Bass/Vocals) and Nat Damm (Drums) have solidified a unique and devastating sonic battle axe left embedded in the skulls of their enemies. 2006 saw the last of a long list of personnel changes with the addition of Aaron Walters (Guitar). The formidable three-piece is now tighter and stronger than ever, as if under the influence of a mad alchemist’s serum, concocted to lend inhuman might to their sound and stage performance. Hand picked for the Alternative Tentacles roster by Jello Biafra, they encompass everything that has made rock, punk, and metal a dangerous sound for the last 50 years.

Hungrily devouring the corpses of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and The Who; dissecting the still quivering bodies of Black Flag and The Jesus Lizard; infusing the essence of the still beating heart of The Melvins, Akimbo has so far released four pounding albums on Alternative Tentacles, Seventh Rule Recordings, Dopamine Records, and Rockandroleplay Records. With a relentless touring schedule and an ever growing nation-wide fan base, the Akimbo juggernaut is bent on leaving audiences a stunned, deaf, shuddering mass. Be warned: The pin on the party grenade has been pulled.
