ayearbehind was formed in Dundee in the wake of the demise of another local band, Stitchboy. The group consists of four teenage friends mixing up their various influences, from noisecore through to power metal, emo and post hardcore through to punk. ayearbehind have been playing in and around Dundee for the past 6 months and are currently regrouping to write a new set and consolidate on their progress so far. They have two songs recorded and available for output, illustrating the bands varying styles well.
Why this name?
Through a process of experimenting and going through thousands of names and words, and finally combinations of words to create something different and thoughtful.
Do you play live?
We have played a number of local gigs in and around Dundee and a couple outside, most notably (and unusually) in the fishing village of Anstruther.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives people a good opportunity to sample a wide range of music free of charge and broaden their tastes further at no great cost or effort.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
Your influences?
We combine heavy, crushing riffage and aggressive vocals with gentle clean guitars, harmony, melody and more emotional "clean" vocals.
Favorite spot?
We have hardly visited any yet, so its difficult to say!
Equipment used:
PRS, Ibanez and Yamaha guitars, Korg and Line 6 effects, Peavey and Ibanez amps, Tama Rockstar Custom Drums and Sabian and Zildjian cymbals.
