Ifihadahifi

IfIHadAHiFi is a noise rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The group originally formed in Central Wisconsin in 2000, following the breakup of their previous band, The Pop Machine. Each member took a palindrome as a pseudonym: Dr. Awkward (drums), Mr. Alarm (bass) and Yale Delay (guitar). All three founding members share vocals. Shortly after forming, they expanded to a quartet with the addition of Noise Lesion (synth, sound effects).

In 2001, IfIHadAHiFi released "Ones and Zeroes", their debut album, on Milwaukee's [http://www.nokarma.com No Karma Records] . The album was reviewed favorably in Pitchfork, Milk Magazine, Splendid and Slide the Needle. Shortly after the record's release, Noise Lesion was replaced by Reno Loner (synth, guitar) and the group began regularly touring the US.

Their second album, "No More Music", was released on [http://www.nokarma.com No Karma] in 2004. It received strong reviews from Rockpile, Read Magazine (where it was an Editor's Pick), Devil in the Woods, Skyscraper, and Splendid. Following "No More Music", Alternative Press named IfIHadAHiFi as one of their "Bands You Need to Know" in 2005.

Crustacean Records released an IfIHadAHiFi / Modern Machines split CD/LP in 2006. Each band performed 6 songs - 1 new song, 1 cover of the other band, and 4 additional covers.

In 2007, Reno Loner was replaced by Rev. Ever (synth, guitar).

IfIHadAHiFi have played shows with The Faint, Rocket From The Tombs, Melt Banana, Dälek, and NoMeansNo.
