Mark Back and Graham Cooke formed the first incarnation of Morbius in 1994. Yhey were drawn together by a love of punk, synthesizers and sampling. early material had an electronic slant, but soon their love of The Ramones and art-rockers The Cramps took over. Their sound had a new direction, they set about incorporating the rock & roll antics of u.s. punk into the electronic roots they had already established. By combining the love of a good rock track with the sonic possibilities afforded by electronic instruments they have a sound that is unmistakably Morbius.
