"Fully formed in 1999 this 4 piece from Ohio creates a schizophrenic texture of music.
People with drum machines and synthesizers shouldnt be able to make music this alive..."

The Village Voice says:
The musical equivalent of the Japanese hero Godzilla, Stylex are at war with the same technological nightmare that spawned them and that threatens the very existence of humankind. But instead of battling nuclear fallout monsters from outer space with fire breath and eye lasers, they use guitar and screaming with Devo/Trans Am synth sounds in reverse.

cincinnati citybeat says:
Some egghead probably has a good explanation for it, but I'm stumped. Somehow, Ohio has produced some of the most interesting and impactful electronics-fueled Post-Punk bands ever. From Akron's Devo to Dayton's Brainiac to Cincinnati's Chalk... there must be something in the circuitry of Ohio residents that enables them to create excellent, brash Tech Punk that doesn't go the retro-New Wave Dance route. Adding Toledo to the historical lineage, the quartet Stylex forges an unbounded sound rooted in unique computer blips, blissfully wound-up energy, high-wire, ear-pulling melody and fantastically unpredictable song structures.
