Biography
San Diego, United States (1994 – present)
The Locust was formed by Justin Pearson, Bobby Bray, Dylan Scharf, Dave Warshaw, and Dave Astor. After a number of personnel changes, they arrived at their current four-piece lineup in 2001, consisting of Pearson, Bray, Gabe Serbian, and Joey Karam. Originally a powerviolence band with a strong tendency towards synth-based passages, they have more recently stripped down much of their past sound, but retained the heavy distortion, synthesizers, screamed vocals, and intense stage presence. On the band’s unique sound and live presentations, singer/bassist Justin Pearson has said, “I wanted to change the way people perceive music, or maybe just destroy it in general.” Their music is complex, dynamic and fast-paced, often featuring abrupt and inconsistent time-signature changes. These erratic elements are, according to guitarist Bobby Bray, “a reflection of perhaps how our brains have to function in order to be able to do anything in the Western societies we live in.”

It's the band, this is so awesome! I saw them in 2007 and they were amazing...though I highly doubt they'll ever play St. Louis again, they had a lot of their shit stolen that night. I still wear my hoodie I got at the show all the time. Think we'll eventually get the proper follow up to New Erections this year?

looking back upon New Erections, what an incredible album. If they had released something maybe a cpl years after, I dont think it would hold as strong.

An even lesser known fact, Bobby Bray played rhythm on over half of Nickelback's 2005 masterstroke All the Right Reasons
