About USX

Undersea Explosion is a rock and roll experiment which originated in Brooklyn NY in the year 2003. At its core are drummer, David Mendez, Bassplayer, Jerold H. and Guitarist/ Singer, Jim Paul. The songs are based on imagery and transcendence. The music is visual. The show is a journey. Combustion stretched over the better part of an hour. There is a core group but it expands like the universe, converging like minds –– whom otherwise might be worlds apart.

A Brief History: Originally from Detroit, Jim joined friends in Denver, indie-pop sensations The Christines, who had recently played with Oasis on their first US tour, as they were moving to San Francisco in ’97. The Christines jumped into the scene with Subarachnoid Space and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Jim continued to play with the Christines but also established FunHouse: A Stooges Revue featuring New Bomb Turks drummer Bill Randt, before coming to New York in ‘02. Jerold had been the guitarist for Abstract Fresco as well as a DJ in Indiana before moving to NYC three weeks after 9/11. The two collaborated in Jim's basement & played a few cabaret shows before recruiting Boston transplant Myq Gaffey on drums to stoke the nuclear furnace that would become USX. David Mendez, formerly of ’69 Nova & a Spanish Harlem native, replaced Myq from Sept. ’04-Dec. ’06.

The short term? To sound larger than life. Long term? To tour and migrate to the forgotten land, The Principality of Sealand.
