We are Men in Caves, thanks for coming...We are a band of three, now scattered evenly over this fair shire.Band titbits:-
Tom is currently an archaeologist. He likes muddy holes and hidden temples. Tom also likes to mimic 1960s rock icons in front of mirrors. Parts of his face do not reflect. It is rumoured that Tom can shatter street lamps with his stare. His dislikes include spiders, wearing suits and Ross phoning him up pretending to be important members of the Record Industry. An interesting fact: Brindle is a place in Lancashire, a colour, and is also a type of Indian Aubergine. Ross currently enjoys a low profile job within the music industry (aside from his role in Men in Caves). He dislikes sobriety. He likes drinking games, elaborate birthday celebrations and phoning Tom up pretending to be important members of the Record Industry. An interesting fact: Whilst travelling in Laos Ross mistakenly got onto a bus driven by local drugs and weapons smugglers, thinking it was his coach. This is true. Luckily for Men in Caves he lived to tell the tale. (Some of the drug dealers are now on the mailing list). Pete is currently a molecular biologist, or a nuclear physicist or some other sort of scientist so important and top secret that Tom and Ross arent quite sure what he does. Despite such elevations, it is his life ambition to own a teashop and some cats. An interesting fact: Pete is by far the tallest member of the band, a giant at 6 ft 7½. There was talk of lowering him into a trench before each gig to create the illusion that he is the same height as the others. However, current EU health & safety laws prohibit this.To be kept up to date with our movements: Sign up to our myspace blogs/sign up to our regular update email in the box below or just email - "subscribe" to [email protected] JOIN the Men In Caves Monthly e-mail update...

Sounds Like: Highlights of what people have said about us below below. For the full comprehensive collection CLICK for blog page... "its 4 tracks reflect a confident diversity of influences, which create a refreshing sound...In a year when the likes of Nine Black Alps have achieved great success, it appears with this EP that Men In Caves can offer a fresher, more assorted and less contrived alternative to the grunge resurgence." more...
Concrete Magazine"...a breezy West Coast vibe...It's not very often that you get rock shanties with muscle (no pun intended)- and they're done well here in a Nirvana VS Decemberists way." more...
Artrocker "Lead Singer Tom Brindle has a beautiful and strong voice, frequently angst filled and emotion saturated. The accompanying band strike up a bold grungy rock sound, which is well structured and highly polished. Stand out tracks for me are ‘Am I The One?’ which is a bluesesque yet jazzy toe tapper and ‘Why Did You Bring Me Here?’ for its slowly increasing tension to a head bashing climax before dropping away into meak exhausted heap. Great finisher" more...
Liquor Is Quicker Magazine "An enjoyable romp through the raw passionate delivery of kelly jones via a slightly modified Nirvana (if they’d been listening to post-punk funkiness)…"
Subba-Culture"The Caveolae EP from Cov band Men in Caves impresses with its polished and melodic, yet unrestrained, sound. Before you realise its happening, your subconscious will be oo-oo-ing along with standout track Spiders."
Cathryn Newbery, Warwick Boar"With up beat and well paced songs, Men in Caves are a powerful trio who manage to make lots of noise and movement for just three guys. Their set was full of distinctive and unrelenting lyrics and vocals, finishing with the set with the haunting melody of Why Did You Bring Me Here?"
Dan Searles, BBC online
