In 2003 he dropped out of college and relocated to Berlin, Germany, to launch his music career. He released several vinyl 12”s, and soon found a following playing at squats and raves around Europe. Spectre founded Drumcorps to synthesize the unlikely mix of electronic music production values and the raw power of American hardcore. The result is not for everyone, but to Drumcorps' devout fans, it delivers: Drumcorps shows are notoriously high-energy, cathartic affairs.

Drumcorps' debut full-length, Grist, won an Award of Distinction at the 2007 Prix Ars Electronica, a prestigious yearly prize whose past winners include Aphex Twin, Chris Cunningham, and Peter Gabriel. 2008 was Spectre’s widest-reaching year to date, with 58,000 miles of travel, gigs on four continents, including return trips to Russia and Japan, and debuts in Mexico, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. Spectre spent the better part of 2009 and 2010 putting the finishing touches on a much-anticipated follow up to Grist, as well as resettling in the US.

For Summer 2010, Spectre will be joined onstage by vocalist Leo Miller. Leo came of age in acclaimed San Francisco metal band Animosity. Beginning at the age of 14, he graced stages all over the world for eight years with his signature growl and compelling presence. Leo is the first band member to be added to the Drumcorps stage lineup and will be providing vocals and support on electronics.

Cradle to Grave
Drumcorps Lyrics

I heard the call since I was young
All this can be yours little pup
Filled me with dread even then I knew
That our blood just trickles up

Cradle to grave
You got the fucking crave
Nothing's gonna save you now
They run you high and low
Strip mine your loving soul

It's all you know

They program in image
Spiritual violence
And it never stops
Not for a day
But when that bullshit's coming down
From someone that I love
I gotta get myself away
To somewhere i feel safe

Cradle to grave
I'm counting down the days
They try to make us doubt we're one
They steal our youth away
We build for better days that never ever come

Cradle to grave
Throw that bullshit away
We got to be the ones to save us now
I taught myself to fight
Someone show me how to live
Right now
