Southern-sludge influenced Rock and Roll from Oakland, CA. With a wall of raspy down-tuned equipment, Brainoil plays powerful, tight rhythm-section based songs. Brainoil have been jamming since Oct. of 2000, debuting live on March 3rd, 2001.

Converging the energy of various styles within the punk hardcore scene, Brainoil personnel have a history of contributions to underground music. Ira has a long past of beating the drums for bands such as Grimple, Ojo Rojo, and Gag Order. In addition to Brainoil, Ira also currently plays in Watch Them Die (http://www.watchthemdie.com). Nate has blasted the guitar for early hardcore crust bands such as Destroy! (http://destroy.net/bands/destroy) from Minneapolis, Silenced (precursor to React) from Connecticut, and Nigel Pepper Cock. He presently pulls double-duty with Stormcrow (http://myspace.com/stormcrowcrust). Greg continues pounding on the bass and screaming away with the experimental bass/drum hardcore-influenced band Lana Dagales, Laudanum (http://myspace.com/laudanum18) and I Will Kill You Fucker (http://www.myspace.com/iwillkillyoufcker).
