Psyclotomis Rex by Voxius

Fifi,

also of Hepcat Dilemma and Special Ed -- and Glenn Fischer, percussionist and weird noise man

from Elias Khrone. The band has been playing shows for almost two years, awing crowds and even

getting ejected from one club for pumping the volume too high. Their unique version of rock has a

warm, fuzzy feeling that riles up a crowd physically and cerebrally. The lyrics are personal and

introverted, yet allow enough room for the audience to connect with the band and know exactly

what they mean. Onstage, Voxius tends to be fast paced; Brown tends to break at least one string on

his guitar each show. Perhaps for that reason alone, the band frequently sells out of Psyclotomis

Rex, which finally came out last year, at their shows. The album proves that Voxius is the definition

of the well rounded band, from the all-acoustic and vocal masterpiece of "The Peeler" to the songs

"4" and "5," which include a two-person drum duel before shifting into a breakthrough bass riff.

They've already begun working on their forthcoming attraction, The Birth of Screaming Nina.

VOXIUS "Psyclotomis Rex"

Reviewed by: Nick Gatto

The sickly sweet harmonies on the

peeler, the eerie way that even scat noises can be

evil, and those questions which plague you right

before you go to sleep. Psyclotomis Rex, Voxius' first

album, features drum beats by Glenn Fischer and Byron

Glatz that will either have you dancing in your living

room alone, or at least thinking about it. But perhaps

you?re more the type who would rather knock over

tables and chairs to Bob Loiselle playing the bass. If

not, then you must be the type who would instantly be

inspired to pull out that box of pictures of long lost

friends, past memories, all the while singing along

with Aaron Brown. Because what lies behind Psyclotomis

Rex is the emotion: those of the bands as well as

those of your own. If you don't feel ready for the

experience of listening to this CD on your own, be

sure to check out one of Voxius' live shows and see

that there are others just like you. To learn more

about yourself, contact www.thereisno.com and buy the

CD or see where you can next catch this band play

live. And when that first new shiny bolt of light hits

your noodle, contact Voxius again to explain that you

can realize no other option but complete surrender.
