HEALTH are an American , Noise Rock band from Los Angeles , California . The band's recent release with Crystal Castles , charted at position 9 in the UK indie singles chart. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/indiesingles.shtml


HISTORY

The band have found fame by playing multiple concerts for freehttp://musicglob.com/exclusives/health-making-noise-in-los-angeles/, leading a variety of venues requesting to book them. The band's favourite setting, The Smell , has been their chosen place to record their full album, "during empty mornings" http://larecord.com/blog/?p=27, although the band have already recorded a live album at the Smell, released on DNT Records.


STYLE

HEALTH have been described as having "artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane"http://www.rockinsider.com/2007/07/health-blowin-up.html. also chose the song as tune of the week.http://www.ireland.com/blogs/ontherecord/2007/07/19/tune-of-the-week-crimewave/#comment-2042

The band describes the role of lyrics as being "purposely kept vague for the listener":

The band's unusual sound can be part accredited to the use of the Zoothorn, which is a permutation of microphone and guitar pedal and an occasional atonal sound without a symmetrical structure.
