About Me

Status: Recording: New Aktor Coming Soon . . .AKTOR is a new heavy rock band with an eclectic sound achieved through the joining of members from different musical tastes and backgrounds, including Blues and Roots, Punk Rock, Rock, Metal and Hip-hop.In a nutshell, Aktor is a new band that aims to mix not only metal with rock, but also experiment with other genres.Adam Bainbridge and Shaun Haezlewood, the two founding members of Aktor had countless jam sessions and recordings, creating even further branching ideas for future songs. However, these already powerful, full-sounding songs lacked the essential musicians needed to play them.With the addition of Daniel Mclean on vocals, and his friend; Rick Townend on bass, the band was starting to take shape. Soon full songs and countless ideas were blasted out due to the flood of ideas created from long, varied jam sessions. Aktor band members are focused on breaking into the live music scene in the near future and spreading their sounds around Sydney. So with the release of an EP in sight, keep an ear out. . .Center Friends And Comments MySpace
