A Brief History
Lord Numb started his musical journey at the age of 13 in his first band 'The Rotting Corpse'.
He chopped his first bass up with a fire axe live on stage in his school hall.
His headmaster was not exactly chuffed.
Jump forward a few years of playing in bands, in dives, breaking up, playing in bands, in dives, breaking up...
Lord Numb sells his guitar and buys a turntable, he teams up with his old mate and Bon Vivant 'Spidersleg' and the DJ partnership known as 'The Reject Club' is born.
They hit London town and build up a loyal following, they are also pretty big in Holland!
Lord Numb sells his turntables and buys a Moog synthesizer. He grafted a Fender Telecaster to it and Lord Numb finally found his sound.
Taking influences from David Bowie, Kraftwerk, Cocteau Twins, Suicide and AC/DC he started combining electronics and live instruments into stupidly good tunes.
He's since done a session and a half(!) for Pete Jackson and a unique session of covers for Mark Whitby. (both DJ's can be found over at the very wonderful Dandelion Radio)

Reviews
"Not since I managed to circumvent the Kredd norm and fell in lasting love with Kashmirs Zitilites from 2003 have I needed to stop by the side of the road."
"To start with, slightly reaching, some muddy anecdote from the electro rock era during 2006 but like born out of a masters hand, succeeds in convincing and seals all of me and my existence, and suddenly three cars are on either side of me honking and it is sheer family luck that it is a woman’s bike on which I’m hanging the month of May’s most important three minutes by the side of the road on." - Strange translation from Swedish.
@ Devotion Magazine
"This is an album both dark and humorous, that contains surprising juxtapositions of the familiar and the strange. The natural, often represented by the human voice and the guitar, is deployed as a taught counterpoint to electronic and machine sounds. Lord Numb’s undoubted talent as a songsmith provides an able frame work upon which lie layers and layers of intoxicating sound"
"Numb is a master of the hook and the contorted sound"
"This is a gem of an album"
@ Phlow Magazine
