Biography

When Baltimore based alt-metal act Dog Fashion Disco came to an end, it wasn’t the end of frontman Todd Smith, guitarist Jasan Stepp and drummer John Ensminger’s musical output.

During the near decade the group spent in Dog Fashion Disco, Smith and his merry band of misfits would amass a loyal underground following of fans (dubbed the “mushroom cult”) through countless tours with the likes of Slayer, Mindless Self Indulgence, Nothingface and Lacuna Coil. Although Dog Fashion Disco never achieved commercial success, their musical legacy gained the respect of musical contemporaries like Serj Tankian of System of a Down (who made a guest appearance on Anarchists of Good Taste), Mushroomhead and American Head Charge, while the group’s music lives on through the internet and continues to create new members of the “mushroom cult” long after the band’s demise.

While Smith and company may have become sick of living the vagabond lifestyle that a touring metal band requires, the thought of giving up music entirely never even crossed their minds. Within mere months of their former outfits demise the group had created a new group, Polkadot Cadaver to unleash their schizophrenic musical madness.

“Jasan and I decided to start a studio band and Polkadot Cadaver started as shells of songs on Jasan’s computer.

    MachineAnimal, The first few listens, only a few tracks grabbed my attention. The more ya listen, the more it seems to draw you in, and make you want to listen to it, that much more. I love every track now.

    I find the new album hard to get into. Not bad though. I'm quite sure it will grow on me.

    New album is just amazing. Almost as good as DFD's Adultery.

    Loving the new album, of course. Todd and Jasan just don't disappoint. Sheer Madesss is my current favorite

    Great new album, alot better than Sex Offender.. Love how 'Transistor of Mercy' is basically a tribute to Clutch with the awesome voice of Neil Fallon.. btw great to see that they will be opening for Exotic Animal Petting Zoo on this tour. Finally some worthy touring mates!

    No need to compare.. SOAD and DFD influenced eachother back in the day, and Patton & Co. influenced those guys alot (FNM & Bungle). I Love Serj and Todd, but neither has shown the balls, variety and growth that Patton has shown.. BTW new Polkadot songs kick ass.

    SOAD-like. Still it's at least so good as whole Sex Offender.

    It's weird to hear people accusing Todd Smith of stealing Patton's style when Patton himself was accused of the same thing by Anthony Kiedis. And rightfully Mike Patton didn't like that.
