Brainiac

Brainiac was an American experimental rock band from Dayton, Ohio, active from 1992 to 1997. The group combined abrasive, punk-influenced guitar and driving rhythms with synthesizers, samplers, and electronic effects, producing a jagged, kinetic sound and angular song structures. They were notable for eccentric vocal delivery and confrontational, high-energy performances that mixed noise rock, indie rock, and electronic textures. The band disbanded following the 1997 death of lead singer Tim Taylor.
