About Me



Before you ask about the name...
Conquistador: 'A conqueror, especially one of the 16th-century Spanish soldiers who defeated the Indian civilizations of Mexico, Central America, or Peru.'

***

Conquistadors are four guys from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. We try to create music which contains aspects of many the varied bands we enjoy listening to, which means each song is fairly different from the last to accomodate all of our influences.

Sounds Like: 'Conquistadors':
Formed early 2004... sucked.
Later 2004... ignored.
Until mid 2005... ignored some more.
2006... overhyped 2007... tolerated...
