 Daniel Francis Doyle has been making guitar noise, drumming, and singing for over ten years as both a solo artist, and in groups both departed (Early Lines) and active (When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth). His birth-name moniker solo project is certainly the fiercest endeavor of his activities. Daniel accompanies his own live recorded guitar loops with powerfully tumbling drum beats while screaming and hollering through a headset that clings on for dear life. With so many "one-man bands" vying for your scant DIY dollars of late, it's hard to find one that actually pursues the idea beyond the realm of novelty. It isn't enough to just setup and knock out a set of bass drum and guitar tunes anymore. Doyle's intense live sets feature almost embarrassingly candid lyrical content combined with a voluminous guitar-scratch and feedback attack that pushes the solo concept into a loud and uncomfortable place, often leaving crowds confused and excited. |

| fight bite: swissex lover single |
| | |
  "Swissex Lover/Spring Rain (Radio Edit)" Hear Fight Bite's first single as it should sound, on a seven-inch record that does true justice to all of its emotionally masochistic glory. Every drip of reverb, every backing vocal and every sobbing Casio chord is revealed, along with all the subtleties and layers of a painstaking recording process. The B-Side, "Spring Rain (Radio Edit) is a radical re-working of another track from the group's full-length, "Emerald Eyes," stripped of its acoustic instrumentation and with an added sense of drama that's been missing from popular music since The Crystal's first mid-song monologue. The perfect soundtrack to accompany curling up in the dark like a fifteen-year old girl, even if you're 35 and still living at home. |
