Email arrived from Mack, who is the bass player for a band named Contortion who are from California.
Mack wanted to let me know that Contortion are due over here in the UK for a tour spanning dates in March and April. He tells me it’s a self-financed thing so I say fair play to the band for having the desire and ambition to schlep over here.
Why not go along to check them out if you’re in striking distance of one of their gigs?
As to what to expect, here’s an extract from the band’s EPK:
“Throughout the course of their exciting journey as a group, the members of Contortion have won over the hearts of music lovers across the globe. Performing at a variety of venues and making countless public appearances, this talented band has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike.”
“Contortion is a hard hitting and evocative metal band combining elements of thrash, metalcore, death, and djent, creating a cutting new sound for American Metal. The band has performed extensively, giving them a commanding presence with their fans as well as quickly gaining the attention of new audiences at every show.”
“Contortion puts on an intense and unforgiving live performance ensuring the audience gets the full effect from their lyrically driven songs backed by crushing riffs, infectious melodic passages and powerful bottom end. Every hit flows through the crowd.”
