Effigy are a metal/punk/hardcore band based in Fife, Scotland. Playing covers (FFAF, Bullet For My Valentine, Papa Roach and many others) and working on our own music we have a sound that we can call our own, with hardcore/metal style riffing over a punk rhythmn, with vocals that sit somewhere between the two.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We definately think its a positive thing, so many more people can hear your music over the internet compared to word of mouth and people that come to your gigs.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As long as we didnt have to compromise our music then yes.
Band History:
The band was formed one night when Travis, Gav and JP were talking about music (as usual) and on the the mention of "we should start a band" the clouds parted and the moonlight shone down on us(i know it sounds cheesy but thats pretty much how it happened) After finding a drummer and singer we've been workin on our own songs, playing some covers and workin towards producing a demo.

Travis - Iron Maiden, Funeral For A Friend, The Offspring, Sum 41, I try to take something from all the music i listen to.
