Pitchshifter

Pitchshifter are a British five-piece band from Nottingham, United Kingdom formed in 1989. The band was started by bassist and vocalist Mark Clayden, lead guitarist and programmer Johnny A. Carter and rhythm guitarist Stuart Toolin.

The band was initially known for the early industrial metal sound with downtuned guitars and the use of drum machines and being cited as one of the originators of the genre along with Godflesh. With later albums the music became more melodic and punk-influenced, and the band eventually gained attention with their 1998 release www.pitchshifter.com for its fusion of electronic music like drum 'n bass with metal and rock, which has been compared with other electronic groups like The Prodigy.

Albeit the band has found little mainstream success, the band managed to gain a platinum with the release of the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation soundtrack and their 2000 release Deviant peaking at 39 in Billboard 200. Since its formation, the band has released six studio albums, three EPs and eight music videos. The band has played in various festivals around the world including Ozzfest, Phoenix Festival and Damnation Festival.

Lie to me, tell me I'm like you
Tell me I'm beautiful, tell me I'm cool
Lie to me, patronise me
Talk to me 'like that' you know we like that
(I can see mass redundancies in your smile)
Tell me I'm perfect, ten feet high
Starve me, sedate me but feed the lie
Lie to me, patronise me
Talk to me 'like that' you know we like that
Tell me it's faultless, teflon child
Tell me there's nothing wrong (nothing wrong) stay press smile
Lie to me, keep patronising me
Talk to me 'like that' you know we like that
Lie to me, patronise me
Talk to me 'like that' you know we like that
(I can see mass redundancies in your smile)
Lie to me, (keep, keep) lying to me
