Retrograde

About Me

This band was the brain child of Malachi, the lead guitarist, when one day he said to Paul, the bass player, "When the exams are over, we should start a band". Paul agreed and they set out on a journey to find a guitarist, vocalist and drummer. They hit two birds with one stone when they asked Daniel, who is a Guitarist and Vocalist, if he would join and he accepted without hesitation! Then they turned to Steve and asked him to play the skins. They were successful and Retrograde was born.
A year and a half later, Retrograde are still progressing and producing entertaining music for all!
We produce riff based music with a core bass line and strong rhythm. Best described as Indie Pop.
After two sessions we had completed ’Forgotten Hero’, our first song, and many more are on the way. We have 11 in total:
-Forgotten Hero
-Louise
-Running Away
-That Duck Was A Friend Of Mine
-Elephant Called Jane
-Still Don’t Know
-Short Song For The Lover
-Through The Night
-Wish I’d Stayed A Minute More
-Juliet
-Symphony No.3
We recently went to Confetti recording studio as part of a project for Tim from the Giveways (check our top friends for there my space) and we recorded some stuff (at a recording studio... NEVER!). He also mixed them aswell so thanks Tim. Watch This Space!!!
