TRISTAN SHONE Comments on 20 Years of AUTHOR & PUNISHER:
"AUTHOR & PUNISHER started as myself playing guitar with a drum machine in 2004 as a move towards being more efficient as one person; I'd had enough of band complexities slowing things down. Throughout the years I opened the flood gates and through my experience at art school I began experimenting with what industrial doom and drone metal really could be. Fast forward 20 years, I feel as though A&P has become part of my psyche...when I walk down the street with headphones listening to tracks I'm developing, my right hand is cycling through beats and I'm visualizing how I can meld the mechanical and the atonal; it has become second nature. In thinking back, I've had some great on stage experiences, but equally valuable were the experiences...the weird ones where someone goes out of their way to take you somewhere to eat or see something that is off the charts. I have no doubt that A&P will continue as a creative vessel for many years to come.
To celebrate 20 years, we're starting things off with a Winter 2024 Northeast USA/CAN tour with MORNE and GLASSING hitting some spots we missed in the last couple years and pounding some spots that we thought needed a little more. This is our first tour since June 2023, so we hope to see you all out there."

Stay tuned for AUTHOR & PUNISHER announcements through 2024!
AUTHOR & PUNISHER formed in January 2004 as the brainchild of mechanical engineer, artist and sculptor Tristan Shone. His innovation, and the unique way he has melded his seemingly disparate background, has been highlighted in a wide range of outlets, from Wired Magazine who dubbed him a "doom metal auteur," to Pitchfork who noted he "literalized the idea of sound sculpture." He has released eight full-length albums and an EP over the years: The Painted Army (2005), Warcry (2007), Drone Machines (2010), Ursus Americanus (2012), Women & Children (2013), Melk En Honing (2015), Pressure Mine EP (2017), Beastland (2018) & Kruller (2022).
