- About Me:
- Drawing from the nervosa of living in a modern society, CAMERA channel their energy into tightly woven tales of age, love, and distraction. CAMERA remain alert amidst the imposed sedatedness of the masses and bring their sounds out from underneath this veil of contempt in hopes of achieving an enlightenment often denied to the underclass of the working world. CAMERA is a triumvirate force utilizing the talents of Ryan Aylward, manipulator of low-frequency oscillations; David Syvilian, the voice of opposed reason; and Joseph Scro, pursuer of rhythm both in life and the artificial alike. Turning paranoia into energy and angst into action, CAMERA prepare to embark upon the general population, instruments in hand; ready to confront mediocrity, conformity, and the threat of drool-inducing entertainment.
"CAMERA is every bit exquisite as it is electrifying." - Illinois Entertainer '05
"Album of the Month" - The Deli Chicago 2/09
"Armed with consistently strong tracks that aren't afraid to venture into a variety of musical worlds, as well as some wonderfully bizarre song titles a la the Cocteau Twins, camera deliver an instantly memorable listening experience." - The Chicago Examiner 2/09
"They mine the same anxieties about modern living as a group like Radiohead but, musically speaking, Camera sound more like a New Wave band that decided to pack their Earth things up and join up with the Spiders from Mars. Definitely check them out - if someone picks them up, then they'll undoubtedly be a great band to watch." - Jonathan Graef (MFR Website)
"This is neither a show or a band to be disregarded. Seriously, listen to these tunes and tell me that you won’t think twice about attending a show. And for the record, I’m not on the band’s payroll and am not soliciting for them under contractual or even fraternal obligations… this band is plain good, and deserves all proper respect." - SuperStarcastic.com
"CAMERA focuses on 1980s synth bands for its main inspiration on the thoroughly enjoyable six-song EP, Fire & Science. Tracks range from the tribal beat of “The Lasting Impression Of Emperors Passed” to the shimmering shoegazer of “One Neo Eon.” Singer/guitarist David Syvilian’s clipped, foreign-sounding vocals on “Wicked Wicked Games” are fun, and his twanging guitar playing is Cramps-worthy." - Illinois Entertainer '08
"Three young leaders of men from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Take the gloom of Bauhaus, the angles of Gang of Four, the fuzz of The Cure, and maybe even a touch of The Feelies and you have a primer for the mechanics of CAMERA. - Barry Phipps
"CAMERA are ready to become an influence on us." - Todd "Flabby Hoffman" Burns

All is very mellow with the pecans, so I can't complain. No "Slingers" but a couple "Immigrant Banana Nudge's".
The title rules and I'd love to see the mock up design. Post it on our "Camera/MikroNaught" group!
I believe in Chaos. It believes in me. I also have carnal relations(astral coitus) with the patheon ov it's bitches.
She rocks and she rocks me. So thus I ask you ....Beer commercial or Carl Jung Commentary? What does it matter? I like your music.It likes me. We get along. It is both simple and obscure...esoteric and profane. I like that...The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
