Brief Synopsis:
Having been writing and performing with various bands
since 1991, things outside the skin was instigated in
1997 by Chvad SB (center). Previous to that he wrote
and recorded with Recherche' (1991-1997), Blood in
Vain (1996-1997) and Mutant Yamulkas (2000-current).

Originally from the swampy depths of Blackwater, VA.,
Chvad SB and brother Blight (right) currently reside
in the not so swampy depths of Brooklyn, NY.

Misguided, insecure, loud, raging, lunatic,
hypocritical, ill tempered and yet kind to animals,
things outside the skin lay a ground work of audio
mayhem riddled with bitter social commentary.

In late 2006, t.o.t.s. signed an exclusive multi-
album deal with Invisible Records.

"The only fitting musical comparison is Skinny Puppy
on crack." - The Illinois Entertainer
