Music career

Failure

Edwards' first band of note was the Los Angeles based Failure. That band was active from 1990 until 1997, when bandmate Ken Andrews dissolved the band, citing personal differences.

Replicants

After the completion of Failure's last studio album Fantastic Planet, and before the band officially dissolved, Edwards, along with band mate Ken Andrews, former Tool band bassist Paul D'Amour, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman, formed the cover band Replicants. They released one self-titled record, Replicants in 1996.

Lusk

Following the release of Replicants and the dissolution of Failure, Paul D'Amour, Brad Laner, and Chris Pitman formed the band Lusk. Lusk released one album, Free Mars. Edwards played extensively on the first half of the album, contributing vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and synthesizers. Free Mars would go on to win the Grammy for Best Recording Package in 1997.

Autolux

Formed in 2000, with Carla Azar and Eugene Goreshter, Autolux is Edwards' current band. They have recorded one promotional EP, Demonstration, and released two full-length studio albums, Future Perfect, in 2004, and Transit Transit in August 2010.
