Turn From Despair R.I.P [EP UP FOR DOWNLOAD]

About Me

TURN FROM DESPAIR were a band between 2005 and 2008, banging their heads to the intense fury that was the High Wycombe metal scene along with Truth Will Out, This Dying Hour, Simple Reason, Hollow, Pink Widow Scar The Armada, She Laid To Rest and many more. They managed to land slots alongside bands such as Exit Ten, Shellshock, Out Cry Fire, Malefice, Skirtbox, Profane, First Signs Of Frost, Open The Skies, Sharp End First, Youn Guns, The Elijah, Interlock and many more. Nick Byrne (Vocals), Tom Miles (Drums) and Dylan Smith's (Bass) were in the band throughout the three years, whilst Joey Cottle(Guitar) left to be replaced by Sam Birchall (Guitar) in 2007. They made their way into the studio twice: first to record a demo in before their first show and secondly to record their first EP to be distributed at show there after. The song The Waking received airplay on Total Rock radio to the delight of fans. Sadly the band have parted ways after their last show in April 2008.
