With unrelenting promotion of their upcoming effort, the band's mix of pop, metal, electronica and abrasive rock is rising to popularity among the underground scene and beyond. Guitarist/vocalist/programmer J.C. and bassist/vocalist J.B. have received numerous comparisons to the Butthole Surfers, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, The White Stripes, and even Nine Inch Nails. Songs like "Mojo On My Spine" and "Killing Time" definitely have a more immediate edge, but even the songs that begin calmly, such the Radiohead-reminiscent "The Big I Am" and the surf-inspired "The Song About Nothing", eventually elevate into searing rock noise-fests. Harsh lyrics coupled with the melodic, grinding pop of 8eighty400 has shocked and surprised the public, leaving the die-hard fans created in their wake wanting nothing but more. In this time leading up to the release of Demos, people from all over the U.S. have begun to notice, and the band has received nothing but good feedback from online promotion efforts. 8eighty400 desire to make their presence known as widely as possible. Tour planning is in the works to promote their Demos even further, and in person. Copies of 8eighty400's Demos will be available at the band's label home https://www.OverlookedRecords.com, and locally at Newbury Comics. Catch 8eighty400 (https://www.8eighty400.com) performing live in early 2005. Still in planning stages - A college-circuit tour (Tour being planned in any number of the following places : Boston, Rhode Island, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore/Washington, DC)
