And just in case that’s not enough: Iggy Pop puked on their shoes at Brixton Academy.“Back in 1994 (after Black Sabbath), Pitchshifter was the first real gig I had ever been to. I had never seen anything like it. J.S. was throwing out tapes and I scrambled on the floor to get one. After that I was hooked and went to all the band’s shows that I could. Pitchshifter had the most incredible vibe live; really underground, really personal and energetic. I actually took part in a few of the legendary PSI stage invasions. Pitchshifter have always been out there on their own, making their own sound their own way.” – Mikee Goodman, Sikth“Back in ’92 Fear Factory weren’t even signed. I was always searching for new and exciting music, and stumbled across a CD by a new band called Pitchshifter. I immediately thought, “what a great name” and decided to buy it. My buddy and I went to my apartment, opened two bottles of Saint Ides, rolled a fat one and started the CD. The first song came on like a f**king freight train right through my head. The CD just got heavier and heavier as it went on. I was hooked from that moment on, and I enjoyed that same train ride throughout Pitchshifter’s travels.” Burton C Bell, Fear Factory, Ascension of The Watchers “Pitchshifter were always highly regarded in my circle of friends. I got into rock music back when I was a teenager and Pitchshifter always managed to offer a different take on the whole ‘rock’ sound. Daring to be different and way ahead of their time, never afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Pitchshifter were definitely one of the most influential British bands.” Matt Davies, Funeral For A FriendBand Members:
