====== The American Culture eXperiments ====== Punk Rock\\ Waco, Texas, USA "Though the band is over, we are still finishing up recording another ep of some new, burly punk for fun. Rooted in British anarcho-punk, surf, and reggae. The American Culture eXperiments calls Waco, TX home. Our music is based in late 70’s, early 80’s punk; informed by British anarcho-punk, surf guitar and traditional reggae. Our song content leans toward the socio-political, dealing with themes of injustice, freedom, human alienation, abuse of power, deception and healing. We have taken a purposefully independent approach over the years. Our debut full length was released in 2002 on Accidental Sirens, a label committed to art and integrity. Our second full length was released independently in May 2004. We are active participants in the Waco Co-op, a collective of artists of different genres, all striving to create meaningful and creative music within the context of our relationship to each other." ===== Discography ===== | 2002 | The American Culture eXperiments | [[Accidental Sirens]] | | 2004 | The American Culture eXperiments | ------ ==== The American Culture eXperiments ==== 2002 Accidental Sirens Jason Himstedt – Guitars, Vocals, Bass on 4, 12\\ Jared Himstedt – Guitars, Vocals, Drums on 5\\ Laraine Carkhuff – Bass, Vocals\\ Justin Clark – Drums, Vocals, Electric Drums, Samples All lyrics and music by The American Culture eXperiments Produced by Allan Aguirre and The American Culture eXperiments - Dead Duck (4:31) - Why (2:59) - Vomitorium Dormitorium (4:08) - Talk (4:03) - Better Way (3:23) - Bite the Hand (4:53) - Human Being (1:57) - Control of the World (3:15) - Freedom is a Luxury (5:59) - Injustice (3:19) - Sand in My...
