About Me


"inventive and up-beat, the band has found a way to make indie rock a new experience for everyone....muse-like vocals, an intricate bass, rapid drums and excellent guitars leading the way to an insightfully new contact with indie rock clearly touched by electro." - www.surfaceunsigned.co.uk
"combines almost tribal/dance-like beats with pure indie-pop and creates a sound somewhat unique within the current local scene...this is indeed a band to watch." - Noisyzine! Issue 6
formed in november 2006 in southend-on-sea, rounds have come a long way. five men, each with very different tastes in music, playing the music they want to hear; blending loud guitars, glitchy electronic beats and suprisingly upbeat melodies.
since playing their first gig in june 2007, rounds have continued to win over new fans at every show and "a party on the beach" from their first demo, "learn from their mistakes" has received regular airplay on both local fm and internet radio stations.
in march 2008 rounds released a new four track demo, "colours that break", showcasing four very different sides to their sound.
