Controlled Bleeding bandleader and guitarist Paul Lemos isn’t the type of artist you can pigeonhole.

By Chvad SB, on April 24th, 2018 From QRD #74:
QRD – What was your first guitar & what happened to it?
Chvad – My first guitar was my Opa’s 1960-ish Sears Silvertone. I beat it up a lot over the years, but I still have it. I get really emotionally attached to instruments. I can’t see ever parting ways with it.

Addentrarsi nel mondo dei Controlled Bleeding significa entrare a contatto con uno dei gruppi che sul finire degli anni Settanta ha scritto la storia della scena newyorkese. La formazione che è stata da […]

By Chvad SB, on December 15th, 2014 “Chvad SB is an enigmatic figure, even though he’s been musically active for over twenty years. During this time he has worked with such groups as Controlled Bleeding, Things Outside The Skin and Tongue Muzzle among others, and has also dabbled in film music.”[Our review of “Crickets Were the Compass”]
How would you summarize this […]

By Chvad SB, on October 13th, 2005 Publication: Space Junkies Magazine t.o.t.s. Interview w/Space Junkies Magazine (Oct. 2005) by; Hare Mengele
[Hare]: How would you describe Things Outside The Skin?
Chvad SB [Chvad]: Like Godzilla a load of simplified messages in the guise of over the top, overly loud, and ultimately cheesy monster movie. At least that’s my take […]

Ecto/Sameerah: Fucks sake, It’s been another shit day at my day job and once again I am running late. These days it seems like the story of my life. Tonight it isn’t a rush to get home and feed the cat or a potty emergency […]
By Chvad SB, on May 13th, 2005 Publication: SuperCoolNothing t.o.t.s. Interview (2005) by; Mr Drum Machine
[Mr Drum Machine]: This is probably the worst, most cliched question to start an interview with–but I can’t resist: what’s the story behind the name of your band? “Things Outside The Skin” sounds more emo than industrial–nary an umlaut or a “23” to be found.
[Chvad]: […]

By Chvad SB, on December 13th, 1998 Publication: Culture Asylum t.o.t.s. Interview w/Gira777, Culture Asylum (Dec. 1998)
Many bands strive for a creative impact but few reach that point. One band that has is Things Outside The Skin. Their cassette “PIED PIPER” is incredible, especially when you’re a band that can do a remake of a Residents’ song with style. Their […]
