Misuse

Formed sometime in 2001 - Played several gigs in Athens at various venues, including support gig with Mogwai at Ark No.6 on April of 2003, after being selected by Mogwai themselves - Also played in other towns including Antiparos, Lehaina and Tripoli - Songs of Misuse are included in the now very hard to find compilations: “Mad Athens Presents Pop Scene 01” by Rubber, “Civil Cinder REgalia Vol. 1” by Tobruk Records & “In The Junkyard vol. 1” by Spinalonga - Misuse’s song “Progyria” has been choreographed by Nefeli Stamouli. The choreography has taken part in the World Choreography Contest In Varna, Bulgaria in August 2006 & has also been presented at HELEXPO International Exhbition in Thessaloniki in an event of the Hellenic Dance Company in association with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, in Aristotelous Square on September 2006.
After the release of yet another compilation that features Misuse, “In the Junkyard vol.3” by Spinalonga Records, Misuse released their awaited self-titled full length album in May 2008 through Puzzlemusik and Spinalonga Records getting critical acclaim in the local press and gaining new fans!
Sadly, on September the 18th 2006, Christos Kormalis, who was the original drummer and founding member of Misuse lost his life in a motorbike accident.
