The Simon Mastrantone Cacophony began with a set of four track recordings that Simon Mastrantone and ex-Academy Mortician Steve White put together, just prior to, and after the 2001-2002 split of punk-rock group the Academy Morticians. While initially being an outlet for some of Simons stranger material, it has soon developed into something much more serious as the group begin to gig more regularly accross the UK.
