Victor! fix the sun was a post-hardcore/screamo band from Michigan with three members. Two of those members are now in Jowls and the other is now in Blank States.
They had three releases:
‘We’ (2005) - split with Tanooki Suit
‘Retractable Claws’ (2007)
‘Person Place or Thing’ (2009)

Droughts: they exist everywhere you look in the Midwest. The lack of rain fall that occurs during summer months leads to both agricultural and economic droughts. Our markets then have to import, further widening the hole that has been ripped in our very wallets. Mother Nature can be very cruel in our time of need, and we’re forever at her mercy. While stingy clouds disrupt our economic system, the Midwest music scene deals with a struggle of its own.
A deficiency of originality in local bands began causing listeners to be bored, changing the formula of a normal Friday and Saturday night. Rather than go out to the local hall or venue to catch a show, everyone began playing board games at home, watching television (ultimately causing a rise in the ratings of MTV reality shows which gave MTV the false sense that their shows were actually good, giving way to even more horrible shows), and even playing online checkers. In a collected attempt to quench the thirst of Midwest music lovers, several ground-breaking bands formed, resetting the standard and raising the bar for their peers.
One of those groups, armed with beards and mouth brows, was Victor! Fix The Sun.
