Living Syndication is a rock band from Massachusetts started by frontman Pervez Taufiq in 2001. They've been described as "tailored blends of Alice In Chains and Tool with enough modernization to attract a younger fan-base"The Noise 01 Apr. 2008
Initially a solo project, it then evolved to being a band which has released two albums which have had moderate success. Two songs in particular "Choke" and "13 Minutes" have been confused as being unreleased or bonus A Perfect Circle tracks from their Emotive CD, because the band had purposely designed their style to copy A Perfect Circle.
History

Pervez Taufiq started Living Syndication in 2001 as a basement project initially playing all the music for demo tracks on his own. Initially bringing on a singer to work with him, he found it easier to just sing the tracks himself. After putting together two demo tracks, Pervez Taufiq released to tracks via the then underground file sharing program, Napster. One of the tracks, "Restrain" had been burned by a DJ at the New York radio station KROCK and played on the air. Shortly after, Pervez received a phone call from A&R David Levy from Flawless Records fielding interest in the tracks and wanting to hear more. Thus began the building of the band, and the early tracks from a 2004 released EP titled "Om Factor".Living Syndication EPK :: LS Records." EPK

After several member changes and delays in recording, Living Syndication released "Aneurythm" on September 27, 2007, an 18 track CD with 79 minutes and 59 seconds of music, the most that any band had ever released on a CD before that time.
