About Me

Formed in 2006, THE GARUDA COMMUTE

"Their Led Zeppelin meets The Doors hybrid often ending up nearer QOTSA epic freak outs... "KKKK" (KERRANG!)

"QOTSA Vs Radiohead" (CAMDEN JOURNAL)

"A twisted hulk of de-tuned riffs and fiery dynamics." (VIRTUALFESTIVALS.CO.UK)

"The Garuda Commute will remind many of Muse but rawer - people soon start paying attention. Vocals are long anguished notes that ring out through the entire tiny venue - the crowd happy that they have someone new to look up" (SANDMAN MAGAZINE)

"It's apparent that these guys are going to be able to stand their own on a stage much larger than that of 93 Feet East. Certainly with tracks like Curse This Day and it's epic Foo Fighters style chorus you can easily imagine them at next year's Reading. Live they take a much darker and heavier sound - tracks like I Took That From You lie more closely with the dark musings of Soundgarden and QOTSA ." (LONDONIST.co.uk)

"Heavy, well crafted, angst driven... If you liked what you have read then you will love what you hear" (Pleasure Unit - Reuben Review)

“Part blunt and grunting troll, part sweet scented siren, Garuda Commute is a two headed beast that beguiles you with subtle whispers and mellifluous melodies then cracks you oops upside the head with a dryslap of epic proportions.

Unafraid to mix behemouth riffs, soaring vocals, Bunyanesque rhythms with bold, quixotic key driven instrumentals, Garuda Commute will take you for dinner and make you pay for it. Garuda Commute will tell you it loves you and then post naked pictures of you on the internet. Garuda Commute will make you sleep on the sofa - confused, lacking dignity, in need of a shower and begging for some more of that sweet, sweet rough stuff.”
