The China Syndrome

About Me

..The China Syndrome came together from a previous band incarnation in October 2007. Consisting of Lead/Rhythm Guitarist and Vocalist; Paddy Baker, Lead/Rhythm Guitarist Andy Blackmore, Bassist and Backing Vocals; Simon Gilbert and Drummer; David Samuels. Currently writing more tracks for planned gigs starting early May.

The China Syndrome fuse 70’s rock with modern influences to create a riff heavy, melodic and energetic sound. Huge riffs, roomy drum grooves, pulsing bass with old school showmanship thrown in for good measure!

With thanks to:
E.P Recording, Mixing and Mastering: Jim Saunders at Jim’s Studio, Plymouth.
