Between the embers

Pete — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 20:47:03 +0000

Between The Embers are a new band on the Bristol music scene. We play a slight mix of Screamo (thanks to Craig) with Metal (thanks to Mike). It’s heavy, fast-paced and guaranteed to blow your socks off!

With only a handful of songs, so far, under our belts, we try to create our own sound with each of our different musical influenced backgrounds. We try to mix them as evenly as possible to create a sound which not only fits us, but hopefully the people who listen to it.

Craig (Vocals), Mike (Guitar) and Nick (Drums) formed the band in 2008 and have been going, so far slowly, ever since. We recently recruited Mike’s cousin Gary as our bassist and are looking to set up gigs around May time and after. So if anyone wants to book us, give us a bell!
