Sensus

About Me

Sensus are a four-piece indie rock band hailing from the outskirts of London. Formed in August 2001, Sensus do not present or style themselves under the blanket of unimportant rock n’ roll clichés so many present day bands base their whole careers on. They are simply a rock band that create a style of music that has been dearly missed for too long; innovative and original. During their life span, Sensus have gone through several shake ups that most bands would combust under. This has made them stronger as a band and more determined to make people stand up and take notice of their unstoppable energy driven songs. The sound of Sensus is easy to recognize but difficult to define. The four members, Steve Rickard, vocals and guitar, Darren Langshaw, bass guitar, Barrie Jarman, lead guitar and Pete Sinanan, drums, have individual musical influences from a wide diversity but they all come down to one common denominator; passion felt rock. Their debut EP “Inertia” received many positive reviews and interest from major record labels and producers such as Ronan Chris Murphy of Weezer and Tool fame. More than all of this, Sensus excel as a live band. Fewer bands will bring you to moments of soaring intensity in the manner of the song “Neurosis” and then make you want to lose your inhibitions and freak out to “Eat Less Move More”. Other songs such as “She Can’t See the World” and “Fading Away” create a new blueprint as to how a ballad should be written. Having played gigs in all over the UK and most of the popular live music venues in London, Sensus are not a retro band. Sensus are not a concept band. Sensus are the band for now and they will hold onto this position for years to come.

Sounds Like: A review of our first cd "Inertia"In Geometry I learned . .well how to sleep in class, but from what I heard there are certain shapes and patterns that are found all over in the universe. The circle, the square, and the triangle, and everything else is an extention of those shapes. So basically the same things are reused over and over and over again. This fact I found quite boring, but as I listen to the new CD by Sensus I realize that, although it's not a totally original and groundbreaking CD, I really like it. And although it is pretty clear what influences they seem to have it stands out among the circles and squares and triangles it was formed from. These guys, from the UK, took a good foundation of American indie-rock and toned down the whininess/cockiness that I always seem to hear in British rock and created some great tunes. The opener "Synthetic" is a great/solid track to get the room singing alone with a beer in one hand . . and a beer in the other. They tone down the rock just a tad for "Eat Less (Move More)", and get emotional on "She Can't See The World" with a strong chorus. Track five "Let it Go" starts out and I thought Eddie Vedder wrote guest vocals for this or something cause it sounds like the opening vocals patterns were straight from "Ten" or "Vs." but I don't think it was intentional . . great track though . . I also am having quite a hard time to type as my legs, and head won't stop bobbing to "Let it Go" ooh yes . . I am a great air drummer, and now my neighbor knows it as well. . . 6 great tunes and 2 radio edits make this EP worthwhile for sure . . can't wait to see this band live, and I can be certain that I will be embarassing myself as I drive around blasting Sensus around Cleveland this summer . . check them out at and tell them DomainCleveland.com sent you!
