Morbius

Band,
Rock and Electronic

Mark Back and Graham Cooke formed the first incarnation of Morbius in 1994. They were drawn together by a love of punk, synthesizers and sampling. Early material had an electronic slant, but soon their love of the Ramones and art-rockers The Cramps took over. Their sound had a new direction, they set about incorporating the Rock & Roll antics of punk into the electronic roots they had already established. By combining the love of a good rock track with the sonic possibilities afforded by electronic instruments they have a sound that is unmistakably Morbius. Morbius released three full length Albums and several EP's during the years 1994 - 2002 when they decided to call it a day. They also appeared on several important Compilations as well as soundtracking various TV programs and DVD releases. Even though their releases received universally good reviews and could be heard regularly on Xfm and Radio one shows such as Steve Lamacq they never managed to break through into the mainstream. Their releases are very hard to come by these days and their reputation as a cult band continues to increase.
