Screaming Headless Torsos was founded by David Fiuczynski, a mad musical scientist. The band mixed pop-rock and reggae, and the front man was an opera singer. It was based on the model of mixing the vibes from Nina Hagen, a German operatic singer, with the Bad Brains, one of the most brutal punk and reggae groups ever. SHT later added Daniel Sadownick, a unique percussionist, to their lineup. He also incorporated funk and house elements into a unique groove-sandwiching sound that makes Torsos stand out from other bands. Afro-Latina rocking singer Sophia Ramos continues the tradition of being fronted by brilliant singers such as Dean Bowman and Freedom Bremner. She now takes the lead from 1997, when she was briefly part of the band. Her soulful voice, and siren calls, adds to the mix. The band also includes DJ David Ginyard (bass) and James “Biscuit” Rouse (drums). From www.torsos.com
