Kill Switch...Klick

Seattle outfit Kill Switch Klick originated as the solo endeavor of composer and vocalist d.A. Sebasstian before evolving into a prominent industrial crossover act across the Northwest. Sebasstian launched the project in 1991, recruiting drummer and percussionist Mike Ditmore the next year. That pair formed the enduring core while the band moved from the Urge Ltd. imprint to Cleopatra in 1994, the same year that yielded both the debut album Beat It to Fit, Paint It to Match and the rarities collection Oddities & Versions. After a U.S. trek with And Christ Wept on the Muzak for the Masses Tour, Kill Switch Klick surfaced again in 1997 with Degenerate together with Alt, a compilation of remixes and B-sides. Sebasstian established his own imprint, Iregular, which issued the final album Organica in 1999. Also that year he retired the Kill Switch Klick name to concentrate on solo work.
