Numic plays & hybrid of rock and metal that retains what most music lacks these days, which is soul and musicianship. With arrangements that reflect Tool, aggression that is reminiscent of Pantera and emotion that resembles a A Perfect Circle, the music blends dynamics, emotion and melody with hooks that leave you singing it all day. Their ideas for future releases, performing concerts and long-term goals, requires picking industry professionals that are ready to help promote them to the highest level possible.

The band has already taken on every aspect of their career all on their own. Including:
1. Designing their own website

9. The members of Numic even built their own pro-grade recording studio in the heart of the Napa Valley to record their own albums. It was there in early 2005 they recorded Recrudescent Feed. The album was produced, mixed, engineered and paid for duplication by band members. It went on to become a critically acclaimed success. With a dew outstanding press reviews and tons of great buyer / listener reviews, the record continues to sell like hotcakes. Even with almost no radio play other than a few late Sunday nights on KSJO (before the stations demise in late 2004) and on KRXQ 98.5 Local Licks in Sacramento, the album seems to have taken on a life of its own with word of mouth. Purchased by way of Myspace and CDBaby or out of the back seats of cars.

The sound of Numic has been heard / seen / felt mostly in Northern California in places such as Slims-SF, The Boardwalk-Sac, California State Fair, Phoenix Theater-Petaluma and The Whiskey A go go- Hollywood. With every show their audience is growing larger and more inspired. But in the beginning to give a sort of kick start, Numic purchased and restored a 1965 GM Greyhound bus. Converted into a tour bus, the vehicle was used to shuttle an average of 20-30 fans to out of town shows.

In August of 2005, Numic's song Thrown Away was featured on Sacramento Rocks vol. 12 A compilation CD featuring the best bands of Sacramento and benefiting the Mustard Seed School for homeless children.

Control
Numic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll show in time
this unbearable mind
I'll show the lie
that fell in your mind
you blindly fall in my surface
you crave this love
but my intent's not to love you

(chorus) forgive me when I have control
cause I have control
and give me all of you and more
cause I want more

I'll show in time
this unbearable mind
I'll show the lie
that fell in your mind
I'll find my faults
turn them to you
I'll try to run but you return don't I know you

(chorus)
go on you've made it
I can't believe you're coming back again
this time you'll take it
like once before this time you're mine again

you'll bind your trust in my lust
I left your love
with all the rest that I've known too

(chorus)

Overall Meaning

In "Control," Numic expresses a powerful message about manipulating someone emotionally and gaining control over them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has some ulterior motive for being with the person they address in the song. They recognize that the other person wants their love but that their own intent is not to love. Despite this, the other person falls blindly for their surface and craves their affection. At the same time, the singer acknowledges that they have faults and that they will inevitably turn them onto their partner. They try to run away, but their partner keeps returning, and they cannot seem to escape them.

The chorus seems to be a plea for forgiveness for taking control of the other person's emotions. The singer is aware of the power they have over their partner and does not wish to hurt them intentionally. Still, they desire to have more control and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. The closing lines of the song suggest that the other person has bound their trust in the singer's lust and that the singer has left their love behind with all the others they have known.

Overall, "Control" is a song that speaks to many people's experience of being manipulated by someone they love or trust. It is a warning about the dangers of falling for someone who has ulterior motives and who seeks to control others emotionally.
