About Me

WE ARE NO MORE! ADD OUR NEW BAND ’CAPTIONS’ MYSPACE.COM/CAPTIONS

"There are plenty of young bands in Nottingham, but just being young doesn’t mean you’re great. Unless you’re called From the Shards of Comets!" - Sandman Magazine
"Their fantastic piano led soundscape really is fantastic. A really tight knit band pulling together epic Oceansize sounds. Despite a few glitches in the sound system and not having vocals in the show they really made the hair stand to attention.
I am sure and hope this band is destined for bigger things because currently these venues are just not ready for the vastness that these comets create." - Russel Comery
"Meandering guitars with strict, powerful songwriting. Quite why no record labels are showing interest is surely a matter of Geography, but its still not a case of whether ....Comets.. will leave the toilet circuit but when... Be sure to catch them before that time arises." - Drowned in Sound
"Fortunately the arrival of ’From The Shards Of Comets!’ adds a delightful edge of mischief and enigmatic fervour to the proceedings. Their apocalyptic furrowing of all things loud and dramatic recall Godspeed! You Black Emperor during their earliest and most definitive period. Imagine 65 Days Of Static sharing a room with Brian Eno for a fortnight and this would be the result. Blissful, dynamic." - Drowned in Sound
ftsoc! are also available for birthdays, weddings, and barmitsfas
