Caustic 1

Caustic is like a gnat that won't stop buzzing in your ear, especially if that gnat is a big loud bald dude with a drinking problem blasting relentless distorted dance beats into your skull. Started in 2002 by Madison, WI's Matt Fanale, Caustic has built a surprisingly impressive grassroots fanbase with his combination of unpredictable, anarchic live shows (generally accompanied by The Gothsicles on live duties) and DIY fuck-all attitude.

Caustic has put out a prolific amount of music in the last few years and has performed coast to coast in the U.S., as well as in the sold-out Infest Festival in the U.K. Caustic has been on bills with everyone from Apoptygma Berzerk to Combichrist, from Grendel to some other band I'm name-dropping to try and impress you. Are you still even reading? Seriously? Huh. Well, y'know, thanks for that. Um, don't do drugs and stay in school...or something. And don't burn bums.
