You will need to sign up & search for Cue To Eclipse, but if you can find the time, we'd REALLY appreciate it!
The Cloud Nine Festival 2006 - "The music is sublimely crossbred between stunning and loud and it pulls you to and fro, in and out of your dreams, whilst you can merely sit there mesmerized. They threw themselves around dangerously, narrowly avoiding each other on a number of occasions and continually putting the whole set at risk. The rewards were absolutely phenomenalâ€
Nerve Magazine - “If you're a fan of early Funeral For a Friend or The Blackout then you're gonna be very happy. These guys seem to have more energy on stage than a nuclear power plant, I get tired just watching them.â€
Muddyfield Management - "The band have created a mix of their own which is awe-inspiring and epic. Having already played live many times before to critic and public acclaim, the calibre of Cue To Eclipse's energetic performances sets them up with well established artists."
The Fly Magazine - "Expansive and brutal as arctic tundra, Cue To Eclipse's EP has a breathless epic sound that breaks over your eardrums like a tidal wave of distortion, all freezing spray and black vocal riptides. One listen is nowhere near enough, so cut yourself a slice of action, go guitar surfing, and leave nothing but sodden destruction in your wake."
Muse[c] Review - "The band sounds like the Incubus of Metal. Their music has all the energy and the quick guitar riffs of Metal or Hardcore, but it’s more artistically aggresive than is common of both genres."
Lowlife Clothing - "Cue To Eclipse are awesome! I picked them from over 200 bands for a competition we were running on our Lowlife site. They stood out with their epic sounds and crushing riffs, reminding me of Deftones, Sigur Ros and Pelican. Top stuff!"
Chapter I Cue To Eclipse was originally formed in early 2006 under the name
Fairvail by Luke B (guitar) & Dave (bass), who were determined to create what they saw as the perfect band. They called in friends, went through two drummers & auditioned a singer to create their first EP, 'We'll Save This until The Stars Collide'. But due to a lack of money, this EP was never printed & therefore not actually released. Only available to listen to on various websites including this Myspace page. But they still managed to secure themselves a name as a band to watch through their energetic live shows, sharing the stage with bands such as
Dopamine,
Days in December (aka
New Device),
The Blackout &
Tokyo Rose among others!
Chapter II Unfortunately, after several gigs they found themselves firing the original vocalist due to lack of commitment & completely different ideas for the musical direction of the band. Shortly after, they lost a drummer too, in favour of focusing on his other band. But both these positions were filled almost as quickly as they had emptied thanks to Luke D (drums) & Dan (vocals). Commitment was certainly not going to be an issue with these two new additions as everyone knew where they wanted to take the band, a good solid line-up had been sorted. But due to trouble from their original vocalist, they found themselves having to change the name of the band. Therefore Cue To Eclipse was decided & they started work on their next EP, their best work to date! It was through entering their no-holds-barred writing mode that enabled 'Chapter II' to be created. Through playing this new material live, with several headlining slots, they had begun to build up a local following & with the new, more ambitious sound had been compared to great bands such as
Deftones,
ISIS &
Thrice. But unfortunately, in October 2007, guitarist Jason decided it was time for him to call it a day. The pressure of university & band commitments colliding had gotten too much to cope with. So he went on his way & Jonny, who knew luke B & Dave through university, was brought in. Although this put a hold on the 'Chapter II' EP that little bit longer, the connection was unbelievable! He had exactly the same idea of where the band was going. There really are no limits with where they can take this new sound. They are writing what feels natural, & they are writing it for themselves with a single collective vision that is shared throughout the band. The line-up has never been stronger!
Cue To Eclipse finally began to see the results of their hard work & determination when in February 2008 they agreed on an endorsement deal with
Killers Never Die Clothing. Then on entering a competition run by
Lowlife Clothing &
Kerrang! Magazine in March 2008 to play with
Fightstar, they were picked out of over 200 bands to compete in a public vote with 19 others. Unfortunately, this vote became a sham as several of the bands leading the vote were found to have been cheating. But Cue To Eclipse still managed to climb to 6th place with 5725 legitimate votes! This opportunity had the desired effect of opening up a whole new audience, along with having gained support slots with bands such as
InMe,
Brigade,
Fei Comodo,
Bury Tomorrow,
The Computers,
Dividing The Line &
Nato, there is no stopping them!
The band are currently writing & recording their as of yet untitled album without label support. But they are constantly pushing themselves into the public eye wherever they can & are planning a UK Summer tour for 2008. The EP, 'Chapter II' is available to buy now! Get yourself along to a gig & experience the live show everyone is raving about, then take home the CD.
