about
Discovered by none other than Martin Atkins of Ministry/Killing Joke/PIL, Railer took its pop industrial sound and brought it to the attention of the masses with the release of «FRAME of MIND.» Supporting PIGFACE and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult for Invisible Records tours and headlining «The New National Anthem Tour,» Railer cut its teeth with the best. Now with the follow up album, «ONES AND ZEROS,» set to be released in 2010, RAILER’s brand of electro-rock will take listeners by force. Pulsing with wet vocals, over-driven drum machines, vintage synthesizers and experimental guitar fuzz, RAILER is creating their own style of danceable noise. - Winners of 94.7 Alternative Portland’s largest new band search. Judges included John Reese (manager of Guns N’ Roses) and Ross Robinson (producer of the Cure and the early Korn albums). - «If We Could Be,» was featured in the XBox 360 video game «Prey.» - «Frame Of Mind» reaches 18 on the college music charts. There hasn’t been a more deserving band to splash so hard since Placebo or The Faint… «At first listen, FRAME OF MIND might give you deja vu; it features familiar Bowie-esque 70s and 80s pre and post punk styles coupled with Gary Numan sneer and biteing 90s style guitar hooks. All washed over by a cool filter of commercial glitz and pop sensible appeal. Could this much familiarity withen a rock band summon its immediate and un-warranted demise? Not if your RAILER and your songs, pound for pound, simply ROCK! Us
