Episode 85: Brainiac

This week we're talking about the terrifyingly unique Brainiac. These guys were something else entirely. Equal parts grunge, party rock, and cosmic aliens who learned how to use synthesizers, Brainiac is a noise rock band like no other. While active in the early to mid 90s, Brainiac's career was cut short due to the tragic and unexpected death of frontman Tim Taylor. Even if you don't love them, this band is super fun and stranger than all hell.
