Weak13 first started in a 13-letter town called 'Kidderminster' in a 13-letter country (United Kingdom) and was created by 'Nick J.Townsend'. The music has swept the underground since it's birth 13 weeks before the millenium and will do so for ever more. This is a band that will not stop. Its mission is to exist and serve the public. Weak13 is NOT a record-label manufactured band. It is designed by one man who with his close friends play the music that the people want to hear. Welcome to WEAK13. Weak13 use a variety of strange low-guitar tunings, unorthadox riffs and dark sounds for every song. Every Weak13 song is different. The lyrics written by Nick J.Townsend are always filled with subliminal messeges, personal experiences and harsh reality, always taking full advantage of poetic freedom. No subject is out of bounds. Weak13 make sure the music is as free-sounding as possible, often doing recordings in one-take in order to captue their live sound. In some cases audio mistakes are purposely left in on the final mix of Weak13 recordings, Nick J.Townsend often preferes out-of-tune-parts to make a song more to his liking, leaving in bits that most artists wouln't dare do. Fan favourites such as 'I Name Myself', 'When U say When', 'Death Machine', Kind To Be Cruel', 'Prouder Than U' and 'The All Seeing I' have all created controversy and aclaim within the hearts and minds of many for different reasons. A Weak13 recording is always deep in meaning and thought provoking. The music is heavilly inspired by art, manily British horror comic 'SCREAM'. Comic strips such as 'Thirteenth Floor' (art by Jose Ortiz), 'Manix', 'Doomlord' (By John Wagner, Alan Grant and Italian artist Heinzl), 'The Amstor Computer' (Eagle Comics), 'Deaths Head' & 'Dragons Claws' (art by Geoff Senior) have inspired many Weak13 songs.
