SANCTION............ Born from the ashes of several bands, Sanction formed originally as a side project for Phil (bass) & Kris "Law" (vocals) as an expression of the music that they really loved. Recruiting people who had a similar passion to help them in their quest, Gavin (Guitar) and Aw (Batterie) soon followed. The results are a mixture of classic rock/metal crossed with the over zealous edge of experimental prog, but this is just the beginning as they haven't even warmed up yet. After recording the first album, entitled 'Retribution for the Wicked', followed by a series of storming performances up and down the country, Sanction certainly made their mark on the music scene. They have shocked audiences from Cardiff's The Point to London's G Lounge, whilst stopping by the Bristol Bierkeller to play an electrifying performance. Sanction soon decided it was time to return to the studio to record their second album entitled 'On Distant Shores', which made an impact with radio stations and gig promoters nailing them a slot on the Isle of Anglesey motorcycle show, performing in front of a crowd of 4000, their biggest show to date. After performing a support slot for Swedish rockers Freak Kitchen at The Point in Cardiff, Sanction confirmed they have the ability to play with the best and stand up to the crowd, and have since gained dedicated fans and friendship with the mighty Freak Kitchen, among others. Now with new member, James (keyboards), the band are currently working on new material and will continue to break new musical boundaries with their next record (coming soon…). Sanction are here to stay and they hope you enjoy the show!
