BOTTOM is:

 SINA : VOLUME ADDICT, GUITARZAN & VOX
KEVIN : LOW TONES
CHRIS : BATTERY



BOTTOM is a heavy, heavy metal band. Spawned from the fiery depths of New York City's Lower East Side, BOTTOM is headquartered in San Francisco. A long road has twisted BOTTOM into its most-current, carnivorous form and the reincarnation is more amazing and dynamic then ever.

Lead by mosh-head and guitar hero, Sina is a volume-addicted songwriter with guitar work likened to Greg Ginn and vocals to Staley and Plant. Moving to NYC to pursue art, the Chicago native has played in the Lower East Side bands Wanna, Racer17 and Speed-doe while also working as Studio Manager for The Rolling Stones Mobile (Loho Studios). Playing violin since age two with the Suzuki method, Gibson Les Pauls are Sina's current weapons of choice. Her recent projects include vocals for deathmetal band Angrböda as well as founding member of the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute, Zepparella though she has forged on to continue creating original music with BOTTOM.

BOTTOM's rhythm section consists of San Francisco natives, Kevin Harding (bass) and Chris Colebourn (drums). Childhood friends, Colebourn's been hitting drums since age eleven while Kevin picked up guitar around the same time. The two later formed the Bay Area dirge band, The Pale Horse. Colebourn can also be seen moonlighting as an actor in cult classics such as I Ride For Satan and Lone Wolf. Kevin and Sina met playing in deathmetal band, Angrböda.

Currently BOTTOM is in the studio recording their next Long Player and playing live shows on the West Coast. Co-produced by Sina and legendary engine-ear Billy Anderson (Mr. Bungle, Neurosis, Sleep, Melvins) the upcoming record will be released in 2009 and is packed with hard thrashing riffs and dark melodies.

BOTTOM's debut, Made in Voyage, was recorded in NYC, produced by Greg Gordon (engineer for Slayer, Helmet, and Public Enemy) and released in 1999 on the band's label Mudflap Records. After launching their first European invasion in 2002, BOTTOM returned stateside preparing for their next release. BOTTOM's second LP, Feels So Good When You're Gone, was also co-produced by Billy Anderson. Originally release in 2001 on artist Frank Kozik's label, Mans Ruin Records, the later re-issued by Lee Dorian's (Cathedral) UK label Rise Above Records. Spinning a sinister tale in a glamorous apocalypse, Feels so Good When You're Gone is thick with monster riffs, killer hooks and simultaneously makes your ears bleed while your doomed heart leaps with joy.

You'rNext is BOTTOM's third offering. This experimental album, released by Small Stone Records in 2005 features Sina's signature voluminous feedback passages as well as the unexpected violin, trumpet and flute embedded in rock tracks. You'rNext is a dark folktale that twists and turns like an old saw wiseacre then digs into your head like a ritual from the Book of the Dead. Delivered with all the subtlety of the Grim Reaper, You'rNext tells a gypsy lie using minor chords, soul piercing howls and guitar tones that circle like ravenous buzzards.

Other BOTTOM songs appeared on various compilations including High Times Magazines 'High Volume' (Clutch, Corrosion Of Conformity, Nebula, High On Fire) and Live at Continental "Best of NYC" Volume 2 (The Ramones, D-Generation, H2O, Murphy's Law ). BOTTOM has also had music credits onX-games and a few MTV's reality TV shows.
