Futurism

about

Forming as a 4 piece in Cashel, Co. Tipperary, Ireland in late 2008, Futurism started writing songs straight off the bat. Early days consisted of lounging around the guitarist's house coming up with melodies that they thought would sound great live, and playing local gigs in their hometown to give the songs a trial run. The ones that weren't thrown on the scrap heap made their way to the band's first demo, entitled "Blood on our Hands" which featured the catchy, and now fan-favourite "Numb" and the utter melancholy that is "Breathe". With influences ranging from Florida pop-punkers A Day To Remember to shoegazers My Bloody Valentine, the band is a melting pot of ideas and emotions. With beefy guitar riffs, slick drum patterns and both harsh and beautiful vocals, Futurism gained new fans from far and wide very quickly. Between July 2010 and January 2011, they wrote some new songs which were recorded in March 2011. The result this time was a 6 track E.P. entitled "So Long December" which they are currently promoting. From the opener entittled "The Endless Fight" you can hear a more defined, mature band. The catchy choruses and guitar work grab you instantly, such as the great "Lies In Wait" and "Now It's All Black". The beautifully written "The Murder Of You & I" is a must hear also. Following the release of "So Long December", the band have had the privilege of sharing the stage with acts such as The Minutes, Fight Like Apes, A Plastic Rose, Axis Of, Crow Black Chicken, We
