Things got started at
the dusk of the vinyl era!! The music world has changed greatly
since then but in the meantime Insanity Wave has been able to
consolidate a very personal style remaining true to their spirit. Let's
get to the facts. In 1992 the band recorded their first demo. This
allowed them to sign with “La Fábrica magnetica”, a prestigious
Spanish independent label that released their first E.p. “Insanity
Wave” in 1993 and the "Go Off" album in 1995. After a
good pile of gigs, and a change of label to Roto Records, the group
travelled across seas to Chicago to record their second album with
Jeff Murphy (of Shoes fame) at Short Order Recorder. The album
"Do The Worm" saw the light of day in 1997. In 1999 a
double cd compilation was put out under the title of "33 *
3" by Peermusic´s record label Pressure. This double cd
compiled all the band's official recordings to that day and several
unreleased tracks (mainly live radio recordings an spare tracks
released in several –hard to find- compilations). In year 2000
Insanity Wave recorded their last album titled “The Minor
league”. For this purpose the band flew to Kernersville, North
Carolina to record with the mighty Mitch Easter at his Fidelitorium
studios. Mitch Easter, producer of R.E.M., Velvet Crush or Pavement
amongst others helped the band move several steps up the ladder in
order to accomplish their best recording. All through these years,
Insanity Wave has not stopped playing gigs, whether in Spain (in
small venues or big festivals like Benicassim) or in Ireland, France
or Portugal, has also participated in chart topping compilations
such as "Generation Next Vol. 1" (1998) or in several film
soundtracks like "La mujer mas fea del mundo" (1999),
Jaime Chavarri´s “Besos para todos”, Pascal Jongen`s “Menos
es más” or the Goya award short-film winner "Siete cafes por
semana". Also the Brazilian label Paradise Records released
“Go off” in 1996 and the cool New York based label SpinART put
out "Do the Worm" in the USA in 1998. Currently the band
is still going strong, playing acoustic and full band gigs with a
new and rejuvenated line-up
