State of the Union
 

Ontario, California, situated on the desert's edge, is one of the least habitable places on the fringe of the Los Angeles megalopolis. Perhaps it is appropriate that such a place should have given rise to a number of industrial bands, including Penal Colony, Hate Dept., and Interzone. It is also where Johann Sebastion and band mates picked up their keyboards and their keen sense of musical consciousness and created State of the Union.

State of the Union started as a studio project. A remarkable blend of industrialism and more accessible forms of electronic body music.
