The Behaviour

Blending alternative rock sounds, garage rock grit, and the expressive depth of blues, shoegaze, and melancholic rock, The Behaviour crafts brooding soundscapes that fit playlists for late-night drives, introspective reflection, and dark psych rock journeys. Fans of Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, All Them Witches, and my bloody valentine will find a familiar pulse in the project’s fuzz-drenched guitars, analog warmth, and emotionally layered vocals.
The project is led by multi-instrumentalist and producer Marshall Kilpatric, a seasoned drummer known for his work with bands such as The Esoteric, Seaspin, Kylesa, Crisis, and many others. His career includes tours alongside Motörhead, Deftones, Chris Cornell, and The Smashing Pumpkins, and replacing Brann Dailor (later of Mastodon) in Today is the Day for their acclaimed double album Sadness Will Prevail. He also joined Black Light Burns before the release of their debut, replacing Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters). Kilpatric played on two albums—including the cover collection Cover Your Heart—and co-wrote their third, with tracks featured on the Underworld soundtracks.
With The Behaviour, Kilpatric steps into full creative control. More than a solo act, the project is a cathartic exercise in shadow work. Beneath its dark, melancholic surface lies an arc of redemption, healing, and transformation. Influenced by Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, and Pink Floyd, he crafts songs that echo with spiritual undertones and poetic intensity.
The 2023 debut A Sin Dance earned acclaim from outlets like HONK Magazine and The Joy of Violent Movement. Three new singles were released ahead of a five-song EP, titled PEDESTALS, which released November 2025 via Rexius Records.
The Behaviour continues to evolve—inviting listeners into a space where darkness meets clarity, and noise becomes medicine.
