Confusatron is a musical atrocity from southern Maine. Many have attempted to describe their music and, upon trying, have imploded. It's not pretty.
Confusatron is actually a multi-genre bandbot. A combination of three separate robots: Mixolydicon (Doug Porter - Guitar and Vocals), Ultraflam (Adam Cogswell - Drums and Percussion), and Rumblebot (Jason LaFrance - Bass and Computer). They battle the evil mainstream Audiobots to keep their "music" from melting the brains of the innocent public and destroying humanity as we know it.
Their musical influences are wide in range from Mr. Bungle, Primus, and Fugazi to John Zorn, Frank Zappa, and The Residents; however, they seem to be influenced as much by Adult Swim⢠cartoons and the video games they play as they are by the music they listen to.
If you are looking for something new that is both challenging and unique. Hey! Look over here!

Confusatron transform prog rock
author: The Portland Phoenix
Chewbacalypse Now is pretty near a perfectly executed record. Production values and integration of computers and instruments are seamless and organic (although the drums could have been miced better). The songwriting is outstanding. And, most importantly, this is an album that because it includes a fistful of genres, transcends the usual limitations of genre. You don’t have to be a fan of death metal, pop rock, or free jazz to like it. You just have to appreciate expert musicians playing well written songs.

Smother.Net Review

Who knew that a lot of my favorite things could be bundled into one band? Transformers, great progressive spastic rock, humor, and Chewbacca all help to put together Confusatron’s “Chewbacalypse Now”. If you’ve ever heard any of Mike Patton’s non-Faith No More music projects than you should know what to expect from Confusatron although they do throw in a bit of Nuclear Rabbit in there for good measure. As I read that last sentence I realize it may seem as if I was saying that Confusatron isn’t original but that’s simply not true—they’re amazing and any music like this simply by definition is original. Check out the opening track that weighs in at over thirteen minutes and is truly comprised of five or six songs mashed together in a psychiatric ward and listen to the melodies they achieve oddly enough about ten minutes in. If you wanted to know what an audible Dissociative disorder sounds like then pick up this complex album.

...from the very first track I know what the verdict on this one is going to be. Not to mince words, more often than not, it's fucking brilliant bizarro prog-rock. On Captain Beefheart's Doc at the Radar Station, Don Van Vliet had a way of interpolating tiny snatches of ultra-avant instrumental sections almost at random in the middle of longer compositions. Confusatron goes him one better--there are whole songs composed of these little startling cut-and-paste bits and pieces with an actual song interpolated in the middle of a bunch of them, as on "Turboface," or the Ubu-esque, all-intro "Preparation F." ... I do believe these likely lads are very much onto something. They often lavish more million-dollar ideas on one song than many bands give up for an entire album.
