Biography
He is an alumnus of the hardcore punk groups and noise rock bands American Nightmare/Give Up the Ghost , Some Girls, XO Skeletons and Ye Olde Maids.
His current project is Cold Cave who is signed to Matador Records.[1] This group includes Dominick Fernow (Prurient).[2]
Eisold only has one hand.
According to the Guardian, "Wesley Eisold is an absolutely new, young god of nihilism and despair – he brilliantly captures Cold Cave's aesthetic: the Morrissey of How Soon Is Now wailing over Nitzer Ebb beats and New Order melodies."[3]
After a public row over alleged plagiarism, Eisold is now given songwriting credits for Fall Out Boy's songs "The Carpal Tunnel of Love", "Golden", and "Bang the Doldrums" from the album Infinity on High.[4] (source) On Fall Out Boy's 2005 album, From Under the Cork Tree, Eisold is credited as "Inspirador".[5]
In 2006, Eisold was published in the Columbia Journal and in August 2007, he released his first collection of poems and prose, Deathbeds. He has also worked with Eric Paul of Arab On Radar's poetry collection, I Offered Myself As The Sea, as well as Genesis P-Orridge, Jonathan Shaw, Boyd Rice, Chris Leo, and Max G. Morton.[6]
He currently lives in Manhattan and runs Heartworm Press, an independent publishing company.
