Fear, resentment, and the search for what is right; these are the elements that formed the early foundations for Tassel. Graced with industrial synths and drum samples, the solo project of Trey Sequeira is rich with post-punk and disco rhythms, and haunted by the guitars of Christian Death and Sonic Youth. Tassel is death rock revivalism at its most experimental, plaguing each song with the dark themes of paranoia, night terrors, and manic depression. Commanded by distorted vocals that oscillate until they twist into the stereo void, the horror and glamor of gothic rock is executed, exorcized, and reborn into the twisted sensation that is Tassel. The live band is completed by May Winterhalt and Ash Barrett.
