Sounds Like: Biography:

It all started in a student union called BITON. Different people were looking for a band, found each other and started making music. But after a short time the singer of the nameless band, Brett, left the others. NO WORRIES, because after an even shorter period a new singer, Jasper (aka Boneaux) added a great new sound to the ideas of the quadret. Because not even a single song was created before Jasper joined the band they started from scratch with building their infinite and glorious empire. Now the band consisted of five enthousiastic guys with a passion for music. After 1,5 year of composing and performing Tristan decided to leave the band and the band became the solid quadret it now is. It soon appeared that because of the great variety of musical influences and backgrounds a repetoire consisting of all types of music was born. Build upon the fundaments of funk, rock’n’roll, metal and whatever they like to play, this band is coming to blow your mind and make your body move. Be on the lookout for: Barbed Lyre!
Type of Label: None
