Editor's note

VHS or Beta's independent electronic pulse

A late-1990s trio that mixed industrial rhythms with electronic beats on their own terms.

If you want to hear their sound in one shot, try 'Burn It All Down' or 'The Melting Moon.' That's the blend they got right.

They came up in the late 1990s when a lot of electronic music was getting slick and commercial, but VHS or Beta stayed independent and handled their own releases. Songs like 'Burn It All Down' show what they did best, industrial rhythms and electronic beats with Amy Dykes' vocals cutting through. They weren't chasing trends, and that gave their music a specific, slightly raw feel that still holds up.

Mike Morasky, Amy Dykes, and Christopher Moore started the band in the late 1990s and put out their first album, 'Bring On the Comets,' in 1999. They followed with 'The Experiment' in 2002 and 'The Neon Divide' in 2006, took a break in the early 2000s, and kept working on their own terms the whole time.
