About Me

The Modus Vivendi (pl, modus vivendi - A manner of living; a way of life) formed in 2003:Formed by four friends, and fualed by a passion to knock drinks out of peoples hands! We wanted to create a sound that encorporated all of our music influences, but was still unique, and refreshing. its sounds like a cliche, but we mean it! we try and merge spikey, dischordant,raw guitars, with rolling, colossal drums and thick ,aggressive, Uzeda-esque basslines.Dual spazzy vocals make up the outfit, and an electric live show, filled with hyper aggression, and spontaneous 'back-bending' is what keeps things exciting for us, and the audience. We have recently finished our 3rd e.p," you are the wooden spoon, i am the casualty",which is available from all of our shows. We are looking to tour the u.k this year. If anyone out there likes our material, and is able to help us with shows, please message us, WE WILL PLAY WHERE EVER THERES SPACE! x

Influences: WE ARE INFLUENCED BY A VARIETY OF MUSICAL STYLES. Genres like post-hardcore, grunge, math-rock, reggae ,noise and free-jazz inspired us to want to play music. We try not to stick to one particular style: in order to keep ourselves and our audience intrested, constant progression is vital. The artists that have influenced the present sound of the modus vivendi are mainly : FUGAZI, EX-MODELS, TORTOISE,THE EX, BATTLES, HOOVER,UZEDA, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART,TEN GRAND. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .................... current listening diaries :Beanie:
