Hey all, we're a bunch of guys in our late teens writing songs about angst, the usual things that you'd associate whiny bands with. We're heavy though - which should appeal to the mosh-monkeys
Band/artist history
In 2003,Jez Gage (guitar) and Karl Nichols (drums) started their first band, Anger Management" in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire. Their music was very much influenced by 80's hair metal fused with the early thrash scene (Guns 'n' Roses, Slayer). The band took a break due to other commitments and distance and then re-grouped in mid 2004 to form Malice Auxilary. After several auditions for a lead vocalist, Jez decided to bring in Ben Jackson (vocals), former guitarist for ToastedGoat and Mirror 4 The Blind, who got the role after a very definitve practice session in which the two (already, for a few years) friends cemented their somewhat writing partnership.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Not as yet, but we've had a few people seemingly interested in hearing us play live. In essence, don't all bands play live to begin with, when practicing? Unless you're a manufactured boy band
Your musical influences
We have many influences. Each and everyone one of us brings in a different style to the band. We're not a normal band you'd fine - we're one part emo, one part thrash, one part nu-metal and one part grunge. With nods to My Ruin, Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, CKY, Foreign Objects, Jor, Static X and many more, we very much draw inspiration from any band that sounds good and has a certain edginess, integrity and deeper meaning to them.
What equipment do you use?
Jez - Dean "Z" electric guitar, Marshall MG-30 DFX amp, Korg AX10-G FX Pedal Karl - Olympic 7 piece drum kit, Stagg double kick pedal Ben - Bog-standard decent microphone (Phillips), Yamaha amplifier.
Anything else?
Yes. Can we just say a big thank you to anyone who has, is or will listen to our stuff. Also can we say a big "fuck you" to anyone who tries to hold anyone down in the music buisness. And a huge middle finger to pop music or acts who think they are rock - when in actual fact they are bastardising the genre we grew up listening and loving, and stil do... Oh, and DAMN YOU E-BAY!
