Sounds Like Violence

SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE convey their white-hot, angsty music with a crushing sense of urgency. A melting pot of emotive sensibilities, they roar, wail and gush melody with the greatest of skill. Their raw, tactile edge is utterly devoid of any kind of preened finish, leaving it stripped to the core and downright gritty, gripping and real. The band have their own way of softening the brash sound they immerse you in, adding a spoonful of sugar to their bitterly performed rocktastic stomp.

Left Side Brain

Simultaneously, Oli joined them from his midlands hometown of Stoke-On-Trent. With a new base of operations established and guitars/drums duties filled, all that was left was the recruitment of a suitable bassist.
