Mose Giganticus is an American synth punk / heavy metal band founded in Bensalem, Pennsylvania in 1999, and currently based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Led by songwriter, vocalist, programmer, drummer, and keyboardist Matt Garfield, the band is augmented by an array of additional musicians for live performances, including Zac Hobbs (touring guitarist), Brooks Wilson (live and studio guitarist/bassist), and Joe Smiley (live and studio guitarist). Stylistically, Mose Giganticus is most notable for the incorporation of vocoder and synthesizer into traditionally “guitar-centric” musical genres, as well as for Garfield’s prominent use of a modified Roland AX-7 keytar in their live performances. The band has released two albums with a third due out in Summer 2010 and have toured North America extensively, including the Yukon and Alaska, regions rarely visited by rock musicians.

Garfield, drummer in several Philadelphia-area hardcore punk rock bands, began the project as a solo electronic home-recording project in 1999, playing few occasional live performances. His focus on the band intensified years later, in 2005, with a significantly revamped sound rooted in hardcore punk, while still maintaining elements of electronic music.[1] This culminated in the 2006 debut full-length album, The Invisible Hand, a concept record based around humanity’s relationship with technology. Initially released on Richmond, Virginia-based Valiant Death Records, the record was followed by several US tours in 2007 with fellow electronic bands Abiku and The Emotron.

    I agree the synth is a nice touch, but not sure if it's enough to separate them from the hundreds of other bands with a similar sound.

    the synth brings a nice refreshing touch to the otherwise rather simple biker metal sound. not sure (yet) how this will fare on repeated listens tho

    I understand wanting to pay tribute to Melvins, but Last Resort is pretty much just The Bit with synth and different lyrics. That said, I'm still enjoying Gift Horse.

    If Andrew W.K. and Mastodon had a baby it would be Gift Horse. And im ok with this. [2]

    Most of the time, there's no reason the keyboard couldn't just be another guitar and sound way better. Still a solid album though.

    if you want to listen to music that sounds like mastodon and the melvins, why not just listen to those bands instead of a shitty third rate copy? http://lambgoat.com/albums/view.aspx?id=2898&band=Mose%20Giganticus&review=Gift%20Horse
