Spermatic Chord's approach to music blurs the lines between traditional and experimental forms, with a provocative mix of composition and improvisation. These accomplished musicians blend and contrast styles in compelling and sometimes shocking ways. Their art is not an experiment. It is passionate and alive because of their deep understanding and mastery of the individual styles of music they play. Spermatic Chord's music is cerebral, vibrant, and daringly playful. The Spermatic Chord experience includes, as Ironhide of Bush on Fire says, "passion, humor, and at times, awe inspiring brilliance." Their music is complex yet inviting, seducing the listener across time, space, and genre. As musicians, they excel... as a band, they transcend.
