Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling's Sophia Cacciola (drums, vocals -formerly of Blitzkriegbliss!) and Michael Epstein (bass - current frontman of The Motion Sick) met in early 2001 while working different aspects of intelligence for the same U.S. government agency. Both had been fascinated all of their lives with spies and had sought out spy-related careers after childhood obsessions with TV shows like The Prisoner, The Avengers, Secret Agent, and Mission Impossible. They each found, however, that real-life intelligence work was not as glamorous as they had hoped. Epstein was better at mathematics than gymnastics, so he was put to work in a secret computer laboratory. As an expert in cryptography, he spent his spy years working to identify and decipher transmissions hidden in digital images. Cacciola, on the other hand, is still not allowed to disclose the specifics of her 5 years of government work, but she will admit that she never had to shoot anyone. In fact, she never carried a gun at all. Both of the band members have since retired from the intelligence business and although neither has ever cartwheeled between lasers to avoid alarm systems, transported microfilm, or even directly encountered enemy agents, the pair has crafted a series of songs drawn from a blurry mixture of real-life experience and Hollywood depictions of espionage.

One billion years ago, when the Earth was but a barren wasteland, a large volcano erupted and from its ashes arose Faux Ox. The explosion could be heard as far away as Nepal, where it attracted mystical guitarist Jagdeep, whose free-flowing fingers enchanted ropes of power. From the ooze and strange of Boston’s dangerous land sprouted Anthony. Whom rapidly produced hands and a voice best evolved to play guitar and sing. At the epicenter of the seismic waves was the loud drumming and clanging of Ben: Shaker of Magma, crusty with rhythm, smelling sweet of baby oxen. Once this rag tag team of anti-heroes united, there was no stopping the carnage. From that day forth Faux Ox would forever agitate volcanic explosions with their hyperactive, post-apocalyptic, post-punk weirdness.

nearly two years ago when out of the ashes of local Boston band The Morning that Who Killed Who had its humble beginnings. Singer/songwriter Jaime Furtado and bassist Jason Autore began working on material for songs that Furtado had spent the better part of the last decade writing in his spare time. Autore’s elastic versatility on bass seemed a perfect fit for complex compositions that Furtado had been developing. The songs that emerged were divergent in both arrangement and style; fusing the raw, abrasive, and unrelenting with the restrained, soothing, and polished. Paying no attention to labels or genres, Who Killed Who’s mission was instead to craft original music without boundaries, allowing the individual nuances of each band member to help shape Jaime’s source material into a musical behemoth that could not be ignored.
