Artist Detailed Info: Bench

Bench is at least three groups:

1) Reeling from the toxic fumes emanating from their Brooklyn studio, Anxious Bench became Bench shortly before the turn of the century. On the rare occasion when Bench invaded a professional studio, the brain damaging results were released on the legendary Noiseville label, home also of Skullflower, The Action Swingers, Bootbeast and Unholy Swill. With the death of their guitarist & founding member Bryan Belanoff in 2001, Bench began remastering and re-releasing their rare cassette-only releases of the late 80s on CD, though only their debut Anxious Bench demo was ever reissued.
