Biography
Cuss Face
How CUSS FACE began:
The entire story of how Cuss Face was formed is much too long and complicated to fully go into here. For now, we’ll give a few details and say that it involves higher-dimensional communication, psychedelic trances, and time travel.
After failing to join several cults in his hometown, Joey Trips moved to Los Angeles, California to start the garage punk band Cuss Face. While in LA, Joey met a drummer named Adam Trips, and the first incarnation of Cuss Face was born.
Adam Trips is a non-flesh being (ghost) who came into existence several thousand years ago. His current flesh body was grown in an underwater facility by Dr. Albert Biglstein in the early 1980s after Joey Trips contacted Dr. Biglstein through a special communication technology. Adam enjoys hamburgers, female humans, and playing drums in Cuss Face.
After writing a few songs together, Joey and Adam realized Cuss Face needed a bass player. Through some of Adam’s spirit world connections and Joey’s special abilities, the two friends were able to work something out to bring Mike Trips to the current time period.
Mike Trips is an A.I. hologram patterned after the human Joey Trips. Mike was created by a scientist from the year 2071 named Jim and then send to the year 2020 to join Cuss Face. Mike likes 1990s gangster rap, vintage video games, and playing bass guitar in Cuss Face.
CUSS FACE's sound and influences:
The feeling of classic punk rock is easily recognized in much of the music of Cuss Face. Traces of 50s and 60s rock-n-roll, doo-wop, and 90s shoegaze vibes also find their way into the mix.
Joey Trips typically prefers a healthy amount of overdrive or fuzz on his guitar parts. When necessary a touch of slapback delay, reverb, or some other effect might be sprinkled in. For vocals, Joey typically likes to use some sort of distortion effect to lend to the scrappy sound of the band. These textures blend nicely with the rumbling growl of Mike Trips’ bass guitar and the thick and cracking sound of Adam Trips’ drums.
Cuss Face is influenced by artists such as Ramones, Weezer, The Hives, and FIDLAR. The band claims that their music has absolutely no purpose outside of making people feel good. They have even been quoted saying, “We find a deep sense of meaning in the utter meaninglessness of our music”.
