        "bio" : "Self-described as \"horror-rock,\" Portland, Oregon-based, hard-hitting, heavy rock act Sweet Teen Killing Machine deliver an exhilarating, self-titled full-length. Comprised of ten tracks, the album delivers melodic, yet hard rock, each song the soundtrack to a fictitious horror movie.\n\nMade up of Scott Chapin (vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards), Paul Becker (guitar), Kevin Ellis (keyboards), and Cheo Larcombe (drums), Sweet Teen Killing Machine make guitar-rock that is as frightening as it is heart pounding.\n\nFrom the supernatural horror of album opener, \"Curse of the Bloodwolf\" and the album's first single, \"City of the Shrieking Dead.\" To the more human terror of \"Virgin White\" and \"New Meat,\" Sweet Teen Killing Machine can only be described as the sound of an insane rock beast that always seem to be chasing you.\n\nA concept, more so than a band, Sweet Teen Killing Machine are redefining the concept of a band, preferring to create music rather than rehearse it, in essence a studio project more so than a live act. Matter of fact, before their debut has even been released, the band has already almost entirely written, though not recorded, the sophomore follow-up. That doesn't take anything away from the debut, though.\n\nWith redefining the concept of a band comes a different approach to writing music. Ideally, Sweet Teen Killing Machine wants to create soundtracks to movies; so, while writing soundtracks to fictitious movies, they take a scenario, a scene from a movie they've made up in their heads, and create the ideal soundtrack for it.\n\nOriginally a basement project between friends, jamming and having a good time, Sweet Teen Killing Machine's debut grew out of that. Never meant to release a record, the ten tracks that compile the album came out sounding so powerful; the members of the band couldn't help but release it.\n\nWith one live show planned for a CD release and the elusive possibility of more - if the band feels so inclined - Sweet Teen Killing Machine is as unpredictable as the horror movie patrons they write sounds for.\n\nBut, they wouldn't have it any other way. With the predictability of rock 'n' roll these days, Sweet Teen Killing Machine throws out tradition - and just makes music for themselves. All the while, those that hear their debut full-length will take notice and go, \"more please.\" Again, like the victims and villains in the horror movies they write soundtracks for.",
