A "ska band" from long island. started playing together in a girl in rockville centre's basement. quickly wrote songs, about killing people with bricks, and NWA. recorded early demos on an emac computer, which once had to be carried four blocks to sax player Ben's house to record songs. early recordings consisted of one guitar, a bari sax, an alto sax, and a clarinet. a tenor, played by jj costable, can be heard a few times. odd and ends were used for percussion, like bongos, coffee cans with rice, rhythm blocks, tambourines, etc. for vocals, the band and all their friends sat around the computer and sang the songs as loud as they could.

the weapons of mass seduction (or woms, as they and their friends call themselves) are:
Kevin Renna-hits shit
Jeff Skaferowsky-fingers
Ben Katz-blows
James Arnao-strokes
Dan Clemens-whines/strokes
Paul-buzzes
and sometimes chris-alto sax

The woms were
joey picarello-vocals
dennis marti-vocals
julia-clarinet
max jeshiva-alto sax
kenny ascher-trumpet
jj costable-tenor sax
suzanne (kevin)-bone
funkmasta jambro-ben lovell
i don't think i'm forgetting anyone.

the woms heavily take influence from the likes of bomb the music industry, defiance ohio, and against me! earlier, they ripped off song consciously and unconsciously, with chords that we later found out were in reel big fish songs (none of us liked them then, some of us still dont), weezer, and the people who sang i like to move it move it. lyrics were stolen, in part or in whole, from NWA, Gwen Steffani, the i like to move it move it people, and reel big fish.

the woms release all their music themselves. their full length demo, Jihad!, can be obtained from the band. most of the time for free. each one is in a hand made paper case with an original insert/cover. each one is different! dan tries to make the band as diy as possible, burning all the cds, while forcing everyone else to make covers, playing in basements for free, and constantly trying to make them more "anarcho punx!" contact can be made through myspace, myspace.com/thewoms, or their screen names, listed on their myspace page.
