Excessum [23RD MAY: The Courtyard]

About Me

Excessum are an unsigned 4-Piece Metal band which originated in Bicester, Oxfordshire, late 2006. Their line-up consists of James Blowers (Vocals), Tommy Plummer (Guitar & Vocals), Ollie How (Bass Guitar), and Glenn McFarlane (Drums). Their sound consists of tight, melodic, face-smashing, crunchy, punishing metal that generally every fan of metal can enjoy.

After a frequent line-up change, they are now putting their asses into gear to deliver some good nose-breaking metal to any venue they can get into. Right now they are working on writing brutal music, getting shows for the summer (and rest of the year) and building a fan-base. They are also planning on recording an EP in the near future.
