The Mae Shi play experimental, jagged, short songs in the spirit of experimental jagged punk. Sometimes sounds shift without warning, sometimes everybody is shouting, and sometimes it's a full-on rock bent. The four band members recorded and mixed "Terrorbird" on four different computers.

LA's Mae Shi offer ten home recorded tracks that plumb the depths of their musical taste, as influenced by their current infatuation with Melt Banana, Deerhoof, and UK grime, as by their pimply adolescent love of Def Leppard, Nine Inch Nails, Dante's Inferno, and worship music. Anything goes here: drum machines, cut and paste choruses, hand claps, recycled riffs, hoots, hollers, and lyrics pulled from neuroscience textbooks and Plato's "Republic".

The LA spaz-pop fivesome stand at the odd intersection of good ol' DIY ethics and raw hyperactive ambition. "Lock The Skull" contains over 30 music videos, a full-length documentary of the band's first US tour, and tons of special features.
