The roots of Technocracy were conceived in 1998 when
Steve and Phil fused their thoughts and sounds to forge
a creative relationship. Phil had previously been a
member of Torque, Vio-Lence and Machine Head. Mark,
Chris, and Brian were recruited over the next year and
a half to complete this talented line-up. The quintet
set about combining furious guitars to digital sound
in a hybrid of current European electronic music and
the "East Bay" metal sound. Unlike many of
Technocracy's counterparts, the band relies heavily
on the use of more accessible melodic vocals, creating
a commercially viable sound all their own.
The band's uniqueness has garnered immense attention
in the Bay Area music scene… and well beyond. Phenomenal
reviews around the world have created an overwhelmingly
positive response, and have projected the increase of
the band's fervent following. With Technocracy's exciting
new rock-solid sound, they're gaining momentum every
day. While the band has been drawing crowds into packed
venues as a frequent headlining act, they have worked
feverishly at improving their live shows by adding a
fully integrated light show allowing the band to pull
off a theatre sized performance at any club they play.
Over the last six months, Technocracy has been branching
out musically and geographically. The band has been
writing constantly while still promoting their first
release, playing shows on a regular basis, and rehearsing
their melodically accessible metal sound.
