According to MergeDigital, we are the band of the week. Check out the article, listen to our music, drink, break shit, and say "what the fuck" while doing so... the worst part is that there is more insane new material coming that will make Assembly line look like fucking Hilary Duff. Check out our Myspace and Mixposure Pages For More mp3's and info. Ohh and peace and love and all that happy gushy stuff...
Stay tuned...cause we might whip this shit out in public soon

Some titles are subject to change. But thats all this Asshole has for you (&you) for now.
Pulse weekly was kind enough to review our latest release. PULSE WEEKLY REVIEW.
I don't quite agree with it, but it was kind in that they treated it better than other's I've seen. We're not signed, leading to imperfect recording. I thought the sound quality was decent, for a self-release? I also guess that since we're not rich and willing to conform to radio rock standards that we're not allowed to have a song longer than 3 mins. It's apparent the reviewer has never heard dream theater, rush, or any other prog groups we are influenced by. Who the hell is pennywise? "Atrophiliac mixes alot into the pot"--how did they know? hahahahaha.... They also seem to confuse thrash with punk music. 35 mins isn't a long album... Anyway, thanks for the Review! Click on some banner ads on PULSE WEEKLY WEBSITE, this helps them keep the circulation going.
-Mr. WIzard
MP3's ARE UP! Petstore, and Always Last can now be heard online,HERE THEY ARE CLICK ME BEYOTCH. COME Check us out this month! See You there.
-Mr. Wizard
I'd like to thank the doobers for coming out to see us at Crocodile Rock, damn near 50 were there for us alone. Here are the latest shows for August!
August 15th, Steelworkers Union Hall in Lewisburg .34 North 13th Street Lewisburg, PA 17837. Thanks to Beer and pretzels for the hook-up. SHitloads of bands.
August 21st, @Kates Kafe. With DXM, SUBSTRATUM, and finally Enamored. Come on out, this venue is cool, we want to let them know what we do.
August 23rd, @ Crocodile Rock Cafe. Email ozzcows@Hotmail.com for ticket w/ "assembly line" cd. $8 under 21, $6 over 21. Back to school party (pretty funny huh) w/ Substratum, Dxm, Stickfigure, Ra, and Colostomy trough or some shit like that.(no pun intended).
August 26th, @ Kluckers battle of the bands. 6 million bands brutally performing for a small monetary sum equivalent to gas money used to play there the last 5x. Just joking, am I?
-Mr. Motherfucking Wizard, the evil bastard that shit in your child's sandbox.
yo "niggas", Tickets are still on sale for June 30th @ Crocodile Rock Cafe w/ stickfigure + Substratum, Email ozzcows@hotmail.com now to receive a free copy of "Assembly Line" with ticket purchase. UNDER 21-$8 over 21-$6.
TONIGHT we are performing @ the NY COMEDY CLUB in NYC, and we're bringing a very talented Saxophonist to perform jazzy versions of Hall of The MOuntain King, and the OUTRO song, among freestyle jams. How many progressive metal bands do that? Thanks to Jed for lending his virtuosity (he can play 2 at once!) to the group, it'll be fun.
Let it be said that our bassist, Jeremy Zimmerman, will be leaving the group shortly to pursue college and his orchestra career (classically trained on cello). He will play Croc rock as his last major gig. Need not worry as Josh Tacker will be filling his shoes, with talent equivalent to that of jeremy. Josh is more adept at blues and funk than his predecessor and will leave his mark on our tunes in the future.
My mother Lori Ann Conover recently passed away at the age of 37. We all loved her and will miss her greatly. Thanks to girlfriend, band +extended family for support
At this time I'd like to clear up the shit about the June 25th show at the Vfw that IS NOT HAPPPENING. I merely mentioned to the other groups about a proposed date and asked for help in the rental fee this time, which has been boosted another $100. I do work full time and have bills to pay, and cannot afford to hold such events on my own AGAIN, and no one stepped up to help with the bill, though some did go as far as to advertise for it. The last vfw show was a complete success, and all bands actually got paid, which could of easily went back towards the rental fee. I'm not trying to be a dick, but don't take this shit out on me. I want to create a tight local metal scene with the best bands I know and set up many a show, but I need cooperation. Not to mention all bands I would of booked have shows at Croc rock this month...
Anyway, I doubt this message will be relayed to the masses simply because no one links to our page, though links do exist to some other bands I will not mention from our page since JANUARY!!!!...
And lastly, Frank (bass) has decided to leave Substratum. I wish they would compromise, because they had there shit together and were going places. (SEND A FUCKING PRESS KIT TO SOME LABELS DAMMIT, NO ONE IS GOING TO FIND YOU OUT IN BUMBLEFUCK!). I'm temporarily filling in for him to help out, since no one else knows their material. IF FRANK IS READING THIS, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SPOT BACK AT ANYTIME MAN, otherwise good luck with whatever you pursue. IF ANYONE WANTS TO TRY OUT FOR SUBSTRATUM, Email substratum8@hotmail.com .
See you all at Croc Rock,
-Sam
We will be recording shortly, with our album ASSEMBLY LINE recorded by Prog-rock god Gary
from Shadow Gallery of Magna Carta records. This new album will blow your mind, with diverse shadings of genres- yet remaining heavy and fucked up. Personally, our best work yet. We have been performing some of these numbers live.
more updates... more frequently ... soon ...................................................................................ok. -Mr. Wizard
The re- vammpage of the site is complete! New lyrics for Dust and Scratches. New trippy imagery everywhere! YEAH! Check out the everything! So cool! <3
There is probably 1- 3 more on the way, one of which shall be temporarily titled "nameless", such will also fall into the category of"fukked- up tech metal", as well as a possibility of another suck folksy song called "Never Gaze- Ever Glare", and possibly one more surprise... And the big news of the week- Atrophiliac will be appearing for a 4- hour Acoustic set on Sept. 5th from 6- 10pm, at Morgan's on Main St. in Slatington PA!
So don't miss out! Join the new world CRAZE known only as Atrophiliac! Tell your neighbors- tell your friends! Hell- remind us! Atrophiliac- SOON!...
The days of our underdwelling are numbered! FINALLY-- the demo is almost complete! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!! YES! This "official" Atrophiliac "DEMO" shall include the original 6 previously -and now complete 6 tracks featured on a previous news entry, + 2 NEW self recorded demo's of "TV Guides", & "Just Joshin". Also in the news, Jeremy hath returned!! Well sorta... bits of drama still flutter the atmospheric combustion of flawed ingnorance that dwells deep within in the tethered minds of stone engraved wisdom that hath clouded the judgement of any being who live to an age where "all is apparent"! But any way, he is still around further creating messed up harmony with the band.
Also in the news, if you havent yet discovered, a new kick ass menu has been created for the page, for those of your computers that can handle it, rejoice those it can't! An ever cooler version of the same menu is being prepared in "FLash MX", better -faster -cooler! Coming soon! And be sure to check out the new picture archeive! Good stuff! Soundz option will also be availble (again) in a few short weeks -after the demo is complete in the next week. More details to come- reserve your copy now! And fuck the fabulous oily band!
May 21, 2003
The show was a success, we turned heads, got applause, and pissed off some people with our political views (koff- fabulous gresy band-koff), a success in the eyes of Atrophiliac!
Our next few shows will be posted accordingly. The next official gig is a Graduation Party on the 22nd of June at Indian Trail Park. See Showsfor details. Time is very scarce right now because debts are considerably big at the moment- but its nothing a good week at Labor Ready can't fix- Official 3- track demos are being configured and copied to be sent to random companies, and distributed more directly through some of our contacts- Bass tryouts soon! Get practicing! Taht about sums it up- more news onthe way.
May 1, 2003
3 fateful days until the big show! YOU'D BETTER B E THERE! Unfortunately, the bane of the existance of Atrophiliac is the "bassist", not specifically naming anyone in particular, ALL OF THEM! To put this into lamens terms, Jeremy (currently) is no longer with us. We're not saying problems with over- bearing parents of whom care nothing for the personal interests of their youth, or that it may be the result of the judemental "carizma" of these wonderful people...
...no, we're not saying that at all. In short Atrophiliac will be having two temp. bass players for the sunday show, one of which's name is another Adam, and the other is Charlie, both skilled musicians who just may have the right stuff to learn our material in ONE WEEK. (thanks J-)
In other news- tryouts will be held to replace the void within our musical style, memorizational, fluincy, improvisational, and "hangin" skills will be required. We have about 5 interested as of now, if you are, or someone you know- you know what to do. Oh! and check thisout! Thaz all for now-
Busy as hell, no updates were made. We played a few shows, didn't advertise, too far away for some... Mt. carmel, Stroudsburg. Many more coming w/ updates.
Feb 13th @ "Battle of Bands" at northampton high school. the " " are because it's going to be a f'n insanely heavy+loud progressive metal show with at least an hour set with no other significant acts as of yet. If anyone reads this page, present to Mr. Rock n' roll' (Adam Romanishan) a proof of ticket purchase and receive a burned copy of our demo.
However We have two other shows very shortly.
November 15th at Club Underworld around 7 pm. Mainly 1st demo material will be played.
November 20th- Kluckers and Kream. Will be filmed, possibly for videos+ dvd... last show f'n ruled. Crowd went apeshit! Apologies to the mixer man for his injury from the pit.
Mr. wizard.
October 22nd, 2003
New songs, new shows , new jobs, new merchandise, same old shit.
2 shows at croc rock, see SHOW PAGE for more info.
Shirts are in the works, complete with logo, back of demo image, and definition of atrophiliac on the back. Be "hip", "fly" and "in" with a soft cotton shirt advertising the most fucked up band no one's ever heard of.
I love the millions of fans that flock to this website, the server was actually thrown temporarily offline on monday when too many people visited this page at once. Stay away from drugs.

Well i suppose Saturday's show went well, I could'nt hear shit out of the horrible moniter's for the drummer, and i busted my bass head after Hall of the Mountain King (the first song), but all in all through all the fuck- ups and what have you- i guess we did well considering we sold CD's and people raved to us... so... ummm... cool. Glad you folks enjoyed it. Updates for our next show to follow.
Sept, 22, 2003
New Lyrics! YEAH! New Songs! Yeah!Check 'em out HERE!

New beginnings are arisin', school has poisened the autumn air, Mr. R & R, as well as the Lunch Box once again return to the finalizing horrors of high school, i myself return to College, as well as 2 part- time jobs. Mr. Wizard takes the homefront on patroling the local rapid- paced nutrient consumption industry during the weekday nights. Needless to say- time is scarce and must be used wisely. So give those guys a reason to carry on to the holiday's before the spring excitement begins- cheer us on! Email us! Call us for a party! Anything! Tell Mr. Rock and Roll to get his Liscense, and a car while he's at it!
Indeed the new album- "Assembly Line", is well underway, the following track (in no particular order):
1. A is for Assertive (Romanishan, Laughlin, Gardner, Zimmerman)
2. Propriety Society (Gardner, Romanishan, Zimmerman, Laughlin)
3. Pet Store (Gardner, Romanishan, Zimmerman, Laughlin)
4. Gwenavyre (Laughlin, Zimmerman)
5. (still in demo form) "Orchestra song" (Gardner...)
6.(still in demo form) Perception Lingo (Laughlin, Romanishan)
7. Just Joshin' (Gardner, Laughlin, Romanishan, Zimmerman)
8. Outro Song...(Gardner, Romanishan, Zimmerman, Laughlin)
Aug 28th 2003
The demo has been long finished... and yesterday Atrophiliac's music had been condensed into electromagnetic radiation and received by electronic impulses sending 2 tunes "Hall of the Mountain King" and "ME" blaring through speakers tuned to 90.3 fm.
Not only has Atrophiliac accomplished having their music on the radio, but the next demo album is damn near written. Recording will start once shows are not played. This next cd in my opinion will destroy our previous, as technical fusion concept songs such as "Petstore" and "Propriety Society" promise to set a new standard in the music biz... all we need now is FUCKING PROMOTION!
Also, YOU MUST GO TO THE CONCERT ON SEPT 6th @ MR. Wizard's Lair. (Yes, i just spoke in 3rd person.) EVERYONE IS INVITED WHO WILL BEHAVE...no substance,no arguing, just pure love and open ears to the music that will be played. There will be other music besides us. See shows for more info. I will update when more is known, until then atrophiliacs...

ATROPHILIAC performs at Springfest Northampton Area Community College MAY 4 at 1:30pm-3:00pm make sure you mark your calendars. Our set list for the show will include most of our originals and a couple covers thrown in at various points. We will also be performing at a Battle of the Bands event at Northampton Area High School as soon as a certain teacher gets her shit in line. It will probably be at the beginning of next month. As of now there are 3 songs done for the album and a new one is being recorded almost each week. We also have a couple of songs in the works such as Propriety Society and A is For Assertive. And remember be sure to look for other Atrophiliac merchandise such as The Atrophiliac movie, Atrophiliac the book, toothpaste, breath mints, and of course Doobers.
It is with great regret that the following MUST be stated. Due to certain "difficulties" we've been having lately, i must at this time denouce any use, acception, and encourage any use of drugs, mind- altering substances, of any sort. It has come to my attention that certain folk arent aware of the concept of the "joke", for that reason alone- this statement will reamin to be the most serious statement within this website. References have been made, and will continue to be made, even tho after this they probably will not be funny, and will be adjusted accordingly. I would like to thank anyone at this time who were to judgemental to leave a talented young rock band alone. We hope in the future all allogations will be rectified, and they will cease further.
March 21, 2003
the management
1. Sam (might have) went tripping
2. Jeremy gave well thought out responses
3. We all (mabey) got high
4. We did'nt get back into the recording studio,
5. We wrote new song " Idols", which will also be available on the CD
6. More kick ass improv tracks!
7. We have auditions at the Keystone Pub, and the Tally -ho, unfortunately the Keystone Pub will be acoustic, but there's nothin we can't fix.
Well that should sum it up 4 now, Oh- and I almost forgot!- check out new photo slideshows on each individual bio page- enjoy!! plug the site!
Alot has been happening since December, including new material and details on our demo release. Unfortunately, we seem to be unable to get into the mixing room because of availability, and the desire to get this done before our next show is leading us to re-record all tracks (except for drums) on digital home studio equipment. Sound quality shouldn't be of much difference. One song, Hall of the Mountain King, is already done. Current updates on our demo's release will be made soon.
In other news, the band is going to put good portions of improvised material onto cd and create 9 Sadistically Melancholy Hymns of Euphoric Jazz".This fucked up cd is mainly composed of softer,trippy, blues-jazz-psychadelic shit. This music can most correctly be enjoyed while spaced out in a dark alley tripping balls. Not saying that any of the band would know!!! Simply ask a band member for one, they should be out in a week.
February 3rd, 2003
2 days after all the promotion of our demo's release for the 2nd of January, It turns out that 2 essential tracks were deleted because some asshole (producer whose name will not be mentioned until demo is finished) forgot to hit the save button. As the studio is closed until mid January, we are attempting to record these tracks on home digital equipment, and convert the files to mix with the master cd to speed up the process. As of yesterday, jewel cases, cd-rs, labels, ect. still haven't arrived in the mail though they were ordered at the beginning of Christmas vacation. This said, Postponement of the original release date is likely. My apologies to those in NHS who are probably going bring their $5 in on the 2nd, hear about this, think our band is bullshit and the demo isn't going to come out, spend their money on lunch-drugs-or gas, and forget about this matter.
In other "news", the band has been writing new material over the holiday and recording improvised jam sessions. At least 5 are in the works and one is finished. I won't go into details about them here,(see my page) but I can say that they are just as, if not more, insanely diverse,unique, and heavy as the others. No "official" shows have been scheduled due to the demo crisis, but we are open to play informally anywhere for the hell of it- hint -good parties... To conclude, sign our guestbook under the current "show dates" icon on the main page. The other "webmaster" will match the link to the appropriate icon eventually.
Its been awhile, but the band reasembled a few months back (again) and is now referred to as atrophiliac. Starring Sam Gardner returning on Guitar (Backup vocals, add. Bass+Keyboard), new comerz Adam Romanishan on guitar (Drums, and Backup vocals), and Jeremy Zimmerman on Bass ( Cello, Backup vocals), myself on mainly drums and vocals + others, and ofcorse Amber on Keyboard and backup vocals. We will begin booking shows again after the release of our first official demo which WILL be released in about 2 weeks. The songs featured will be as followed:
1.Hall of the Mountain King (Gardner)
2. Me(Laughlin)
3. Ranch Dressing (Laughlin, Tacker, Romanishan)
4. Trademark (Gardner, Laughlin)
5. Legend (Gardner)
6.Atrophiliac (Laughlin, Gardner)
CD's will be priced at fi- dolla. See ordering info for details. MP3 samplers will ALSO be available soon. Thaz all 4 now, and in closing- fuck you John.
There were some words, some arguements, some cake and some hell... however, when the smoke cleared- there wasnt much of a live band left. All apologies and good lucks to the members that have left. The rest however will forge on. Larry, Valerie, Amber, and both Troy's are those few, now known as PipedreamS. But so long as Alf is funny, music will also fill the hearts of many, and hope remains. God speed.
Larry and Sam have joined the band to further us into fame, fortune, and musical adventure! Sam plays lead guitar, and Larry is on lead vocals. Pics will be up soon. We'll be having our first show sometime soon at Beer Bellies in Bethlehem,(hopefully). All Info. will be posted.
Innuendo will be opening for two bands in about a month, Clusterfuck, and another band (name uncertain). There will be an additional link for show dates when we have them.
Sadly, Tom is no longer with us due to a lack of communication. Good luck to him. We can only hope he will find a band more his style and that he'll call them back.
