God Lives Underwater came out of Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, in 1993, when singer David Reilly and Jeff Turzo, both of them programmers as well as players, started the band. Guitarist Andrew McGee joined later, and drummer Adam Kary eventually handed the sticks to Scott Garrett. The result was industrial rock with a pop heart, cold machine pulses under warm, wounded melodies.
They cut a self-titled EP late in 1993 and sold it themselves until Rick Rubin's American Recordings signed them and put it out nationally in early 1995, with the full-length Empty following later that year. A move to A&M Records brought the 1998 album Life in the So-Called Space Age, and its "From Your Mouth", a tense, synth-glazed grind of a single, was the biggest thing they ever had.
Internal troubles and label changes slowed everything down after that, and their last album, Up Off the Floor, arrived in 2004. Reilly died suddenly the next year, on October 16, 2005, at just 34.
