First off, we're not a band. We're an independent record label run by a dashing
young married couple who (despite their surroundings) made it through their 20s
with all of their teeth, opposable thumbs, and have no interest in hooking up
with anyone they're related to. I know it's hard for anyone that's never been
here (and only heard the glorious jokes of comedians worldwide, or seen the
Dukes of friggin' Hazard) to fathom that this place isn't just a void of beer
cans, back hair and poor dental work, but there ARE some glimmers of hope
here--and we're here to shove those down the throat of the rest of the world.
We're not saying, "hey move here, it's awesome," we're just saying give us a
chance, and don't let Larry the fucking Cable Guy represent all you know of the
South. Onto more about the music and label itself.

Born in August of 2004, Acerbic and the sum of its parts (read: music-nerds) set out to further advance the margins of intense yet perplexing music while slamming an unexpected fist to the mouth of the worn-out Wal-Mart Wasteland known as the Southeastern part of the United States, by force-feeding culture to the land of agriculture.

Although flying the flag of neither SICKness nor BRUTALity, we still pride ourselves on providing well thought-out and engaging, yet boisterous and unpredictable music stuffs without all the puckered lips, faux-hawks, and Maybeline. While one may wonder what makes us of all people any type of authority on music, style, substance, or artistic law-enforcement, two things are for certain, location isnt everything and Im currently dressed like Ziggy Stardust (ask your parents about that one, kids).

The death of nu-metal and 7th stringers was a welcomed funeral, and left hopes of a reclamation of the extreme music scene, which has since been saturated with equally laughable metalcore bands and their prepubescent, poopy-pants angst. Thats not to say that some arent good or even great, but there are too many of them that ARENT, too many that are in it for the wrong rea$on$, too many are back to dumbing down intense music, and too many sound just like 6 other bands who sound just like 6 other bands who look just like 6 other bands that are wearing their sisters clothing.

Acerbic promises plenty of metal, and maybe even some core - but more importantly Acerbic promises originality, peculiarity, and CDs that are made from 100% meat-free, organic, never-biodegradable plastic. In other words, normal dudes playing abnormal music. Rock stars are for L.A. gutters.
