Several of EYE's political protest songs were regularly broadcast on popular community radio stations in Australian big cities - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth & Canberra - some even featured them on high rotation during prime-time shows.

"Taliban: Made by the USA" (electro industrial hip hop)... "Are You a Terrorist?

SIBLING Projects
EYE members have released music and performed live via the temporary sibling-project names of ELF - also referred to as E.L.F. - as well as AYA ... DJ Citizen ... AphAziA, QT & STOAT (of Clan Analogue)...
These projects arose due to the large amount of music being produced. The aim was to target niche audiences: EYE for political electro punky industrial darkwave rock music; ELF for the EDM electronica; AYA for IDM; DJ Citizen for power noise aggrotech cybergoth; QT for techno-house-electro-pop... It was later decided that: i) too little time to manage so many projects; ii) (sub-)genres come & go out of favour; iii) diversity under one title makes for a more interesting project. Hence, all material has been re-assimilated; originally it was all EYE music.
Geography
EYE's humanoid components have roots in the cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth & Newcastle (Australia) as well as the North American cities of Toronto (Canada), San Diego, Los Angeles, Newark, New York & Jersey City (USA); have also resided in Europe - London (England, UK), Berlin, Koln/Cologne (Germany) and St Petersburg (Russia).
