How would you describe yourselves?
We're an electro/metal/rock band trying to merge
electronica sounds with live music and hopefully inspiring people along the
way.
Who are your main influences musically?
We all have our own personal influences that have shaped
our sound:
Laura - Nine Inch Nails, Tool, System of a Down, Placebo, Faith No
More.
James - Tool, Helmet, Chris Clark, 90's Rave.
Oz -
Helmet, Tool, Deftones.
Mark - Pitchshifter, The Prodigy and Enter
Shikari, plus everything from death metal to hip hop.
Adam - Rush, Four
Star Mary, Stereophonics, Bear McCreary, The Prodigy.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Hopefully we can continue to make and perform music
together for as long as possible as we enjoy every aspect of what we do and with
a bit of luck we'll pick up some fans as we go.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
Last year we supported The Proclaimers and Simon
Townshend and while they are totally different genres to us we all grew up
listening to their music so it was an amazing experience for us being able
to see them perform and chat to them after the show.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
We've had a gig or two where the attendance numbers
haven't been ideal which is always disheartening, but we always enjoy ourselves
onstage and get banter going with whoever is there to try and turn it around.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
'64 Odyssey' from our debut eponymous LP 'Giskard' is one
that showcases a little of everything, we're always trying new sounds and
styles so it's hard to have one that is a complete representation but it comes
the closest. Also it's one we always enjoy playing and crowds react to it
very well.
Where can we listen to it?
