The Profile

American experimental grind/hardcore group from San Diego, formed in 1994. Known for ultra-short, chaotic songs, insectoid stage suits, and a sharp blend of electronics, noise, and punk ferocity. Key releases include Plague Soundscapes (2003) and New Erections (2007).

San Diego quartet; Anti- label era; Plague Soundscapes produced by Alex Newport; dual vocals (Justin Pearson, Bobby Bray); Gabe Serbian on drums; notorious green locust suits; sarcastic, anti-establishment lyrics; shift from ultra-short tracks to longer structures on New Erections.

Three reviews tackle The Locust’s most infamous blasts. Plague Soundscapes gets hailed for 23 surgical strikes of grind/noise with sharp production. New Erections is framed as a colder, longer, cybergrind-leaning mutation with political teeth. The band’s sarcasm, absurd titles, and Anti- era come up often. Overall: divisive sound, strong praise.
