Hello, this is Founder's Soundclick page.
If you would like to listen to some early yet good sounding recordings of our music, you should find the link located in the corner of the screen.
Our band has played many different styles of music over the fairly short period of time we've been together, and we are still trying to find the style suited to us, so any comments u can make on our various songs will be much appreciated.

Why this name?
I was sitting at home thinking to myself about band names that might be suitable, and we considered our style of music and how we want it to evolve. We would like to have a unique sound, thus being the "founders" of that sound, cheesy but meh, nobody else has this band name
Do you play live?
Yes we will be playing live again, probably around the November/December period
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the better, it all comes down to the music at the end of the day. If we ever release a song that is loved by many, but don't really get a good profit for it due to internet music downloads, the main goal of making good music will have been achieved and we'll be recognised for that, which we believe is the most important thing, not the money. (not to say we don't like money)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, for hightened music quality and money naturally, why not make money for something you love doing?

Your influences?
We have such a variation of music tastes and styles within our own songs, it would be innacurate for us to put down influences here as it might completely mislead you before you hear our music! However, we will put down some of our favourite bands. As you will see, they each have a huge range of styles.
