The Automatic Biography


Seeing the potential for an elfin keyboard player with onstage Tourettes in the modern punk-pop troop, they ditched the other hopeful guitarists and recruited Pennie, whose limited ability at the time was aided by his KORG-EA1 being "basically a My First Keyboard." And anyway, when he tried vocals on an At The Drive-In cover they saw they had performance gold. Now he's graduated to the far more advanced Alhesis Micron and the "old skool" Roland Juno and The Automatic have patented their own sound.

The boys had bonded over shared loves of Blur, Ash and Radiohead, but cutting their live teeth on the screamo-heavy Cardiff scene saw them grow close to the experimental hardcore bands like Jarcrew, which put them in a unique position.

"It affected us in a good way though," says Frost, "we didn't feel pressure to play the same music as all the other bands. We didn't look at a band and say 'cos they're doing that we're gonna do something totally different. We could absorb the best bits."
