Neptune's origins trace to 1994 as a sculpture project by Boston artist/musician Jason Sanford, who forged the band's haphazard guitars and reluctant drums from scrap steel and found objects. Nine (+) lineups, twenty-five releases and hundreds of instruments later, the band continues to wrench its sound spatter on self-built instruments to often confounded audiences around the world. As of 2022, Neptune consists of Sanford along with long-time Neptune collaborators Mark William Pearson, Daniel Paul Boucher and, intermittently, Kevin Emil Micka.
