About Me


Desperate Cycle are a Five piece Rock band from Milton Keynes. Having only been together around about two years, DC have accomplished alot in this time, and with such achievements as coming second in THE PITZ CLUB/MK CITIZEN Band Blitz Competition in 2005, playing 80+ shows between 2005-2006, a DIY tour, Three demos, and substantial Label Interest , the future is looking bright for Desperate Cycle.
Line up changes in late 2006 saw DC's sound progress and develop, and brought on a slot on the UK's Premier Ska-Punk band Capdown's "Wind Up Toys" tour of Feb 07, and a new E.P is looking to be recorded in March 07. Keep checking back for more updates!
Desperate Cycle have shared the stage with acts such as:
Amen, Sick Of It All, The Unseen, The Suicide Machines, The Voodoo Glow Skulls, Stretch Armstrong, With Honor, Nural, Big D and The Kids Table, Merauder, Capdown, The Freaks Union, The Filaments, Howards Alias, Fireapple Red, Graveltrap, Kenisia, Rough Justice, Gutworm.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WRITING NEW SONGS, DEMOING NEW SONGS, FINISHING OFF OUR RELEASE, LAUNCHING A NEW MYSPACE, GETTING NEW PICTURES, NEW ARTWORK.
WE ARE GONNA BE GONE FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS BUT SHOULD BE BACK WITH A BANG.
SEE YOU ALL SOON!
