Former MINISTRY Guitarist Launches THE GREAT AMERICON

May 6, 2011

THE GREAT AMERICON, the brainchild of two-time Grammy-nominated artist Sin Quirin, will release its self-titled debut EP later this month. The band's music is described in a press release as "heavy and fast-paced, with machine-like drums and crushing, yet hooky guitar riffs."

THE GREAT AMERICON will join COMBICHRIST on select West Coast dates will hit the road extensively later in the year.

Guitarist/producer/songwriter Sin Quirin, based out of Los Angeles, has been a major player in the industrial, rock, and metal scene. He is best known for his contributions to bands such as MINISTRY, REVOLTING COCKS, and LORDS OF ACID, and has toured all over the world.most notably, performing in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans at many of the major festivals in Europe.

Josh Bradford delivers a commanding and intense vocal performance for THE GREAT AMERICON, with a stage presence unlike any other. Josh, based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, has previously sung for REVOLTING COCKS, as well as his own band STAYTE, and was even a guest vocalist for the band MINISTRY.

Clayton Worbeck, also based out of Vancouver, is a master at programming and keyboard performance for THE GREAT AMERICON. What Clayton adds creates a hybrid of heavy, guitar-driven rock combined with a technological, mechanical force. Clayton has also performed in REVOLTING COCKS and STAYTE.

Salvador Krk, drummer for THE GREAT AMERICON, attacks the drums with brutality. His hard-hitting rhythms will drive any mosh pit into a state of frenzy. Salvador Krk is best known for his contributions to LORDS OF ACID but he also has an extensive background in rock and metal.

Karma Cheema, the band's newest addition, is thunderous on the bass guitar. He is also well respected for his role in the bands AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE and OTEP.
