Flesh Pilgrims is a post-punk trio from Denton, Texas. Unlike most of their contemporaries, Flesh Pilgrims are not afraid to explore other genres and styles of music. Listen for 5 minutes and your gonna hear waltzes perched next to machine gun riffing, death marches sauntering down country roads, psychadelic interludes that actually go somewhere, and even some straight ahead rawk for the uninitiated. Lest you think we're a bunch of cut and paste dilettante's, Flesh Pilgrims music has two overriding qualities: the groove and the melody. Despite the prevalent use of odd-metered time signatures and polyrhythmic wankery, the bass and drums never fail to deliver toe- tapping, head-bobbing grooves. Clear, emotional vocals deliver lyrics that are vague enough to be considered "universal" and yet meaningful enough to avoid the "artsy-fartsy" tag. Flesh Pilgrims have two full-length records and hundreds of shows throughout the south and midwest under their belts.
