They had the talent, the vision, the enthusiasm of musicians discovering intuitive connections with each other. They even had a mailing list — some two thousand supporters, based on the combined lists of several members. Just one thing was missing: the name. For two months or so, they wrestled with all sorts of possibilities; none really captured the emerging personality of the group. So J. Lynn decided to look through his old journals for ideas. Suddenly, there it was, the title of a poem he had written at age nineteen. “That phrase, ‘Mad At Gravity,’ just jumped out,” he says. “It has so many applications, gravity being an inexplicable force. We can measure it, and we can test its effects. It’s the power that holds matter together. Every object has its own gravity, whether it’s a human body, a planet, or just a little rock on the ground. “Yet nobody has figured out what it is or how it works. So, for many reasons, we all … gravitated toward it.” (For ideal effect, add collective groans and hisses from the four other band members.)
Every new band knows that you’re supposed to start your trek to stardom by building momentum through local gigs. Then word spreads, A&R people line up, and you’re on your way.

they made some great music. i really don't understand why great bands do that kind of thing. it reminds me of April Sixth. Their music was awesome, but then I think about a year or two later they just called it quits.

I am from Phoenix. On the music scene, its Tainted Faith who? This band has claimed in the past on their website to have released previous albums,where is that claim now? The are a made up band with a lead singer that spends more time stealing songs than writing them, maybe he just has no talent. No one in AZ books them, they're a f***ing garage band. Yeah, Tainted Faith, I live in Phx, yeah, I

Oh and for the record Tainted Faith suck godzilla's nuts. Craptastic music aside, any band that would steal songs from my lords and saviors (Mad at Gravity) deserve to be thrown into an active volcano.

If they wanted to? They did. One of the band memebers ex made the profile? That's a lot of work to get back at one guy. Give up with the lame excuses and insults Tainted, they screwed up.
