Ayin is post-every-stupid-generic-genre-name-you-can-think-of. Started in 1998, and around in present form since 2003, they have only recently started to get a fair amount of respect and generate a measurable amount of excitement. After seven years, three albums, hundreds of shows, and several tours, Ayin went on indefinite haitus in 2007.
