With three guitarists and two vocalists among their ranks, there are many elements to their progressive rock / post-metal inspired sound, giving nods to contemporary favourites Karnivool and Gojira, but also classic names such as Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins.
It is a blend that has not only seen them receive acclaim from all of the UK’s major rock publications but also a nomination in the Orange Amplification Progressive Music Awards, no small feat for an unsigned DIY band.
