Wesley Eisold
Wesley Eisold (born February 15, 1979) is an American musician, poet and author. He records music under the name Cold Cave, and runs the publishing house Heartworm Press.
Wesley Eisold is the vocalist of the synthpop darkwave band Cold Cave as well as the hardcore punk group American Nightmare from 1998 - 2004, 2010–present, and previously of Some Girls, XO Skeletons and Ye Olde Maids.
In 2006, Eisold was published in the Columbia Journal.[citation needed] Also in 2006, Eisold founded the independent publishing company, Heartworm Press, because of his interest in writing and bringing zines to shows. He listed Exact Change, Grove Press, 2.13.61 and New Directions Publishing as influential publishers. Heartworm has released Eisold's own writing, as well as Boyd Rice, Eric Paul, Jonathan Shaw, Genesis P-Orridge and Richard Brautigan. In August 2007, he published his first collection of poems and prose, Deathbeds in his own publishing company Heartworms.
Since 2007 Eisold has been performing his music under the name Cold Cave, which represents his first venture into instrumentation. Eisold was born with one hand which led him to electronic music. After a public row over alleged plagiarism, Eisold settled out of court and has been 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.[failed verification] On Fall Out Boy's 2005 album, From Under the Cork Tree, Eisold is credited as 'Inspirador.[failed verification]
In 2009, the Guardian wrote "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."
In 2010 Eisold said in an interview that missing a hand ruled out playing guitar and drums as instruments, so he began to try "making music with synths and pedals". He also noted that his songwriting process had changed after removing himself from the traditional band scene, and writing alone by himself.
In 2011 and 2012, Eisold performed live as a member of Prurient.
He has performed in less traditional music venues such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Getty Center.[citation needed]
