Biography

The Bacillus formed in late 2008 and debuted on the live circuit the following year. The band name was taken from a painting titled "The Bacillus Of Mass Infantilism" by Samuel Tolfree (1967-2003), who also inspired several of their songs. They self-released the album "I Can't Adapt To This Prison You Call Society", produced by Christophe Bride, in 2011 before going their separate ways. The album was later reissued by German Shepherd Records in 2014.
