Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel, but it is easy now to overlook the impact that the first album, Unknown Pleasures, had on post-punk music at the time, as reference the number of prominent bands that cited this album as an influence.
Hybryd consisted of three members, soon to be formed into the band Enter Shikari. These members were Rou Reynolds on guitar and vocals, Chris Batten on bass, and Rob Rolfe on drums.
Hybryd started out in 1999, and showed a lot of potential, but ended in 2002.
Liam "Rory" Clewlow later joined and filled in for guitar whilst Rou experimented with the use of synths.
The four members then formed Enter Shikari and proved to be very talented artists, and to this day, are growing ever bigger in terms of success.
"Hollywood Suicide, beauty and decay, fame and depression. Some pills and champagne, that was a popular choice of death among people in the show business era of the '50s. Get to the top, do it quick, being loved, being adored. Quit while your ahead, never let your fortune fade." They're a young punk & roll band from London, UK.
Always on the road, anywhere and anyhow..they smashed most of the stages around sharing great gigs with bands such as Klingonz, King Kurt, Meteors, The Grit, Peacocks, Long Tall Texans...

"Local duo Elapse-O are without doubt the best new band I've seen in the last year. Or rather 'Golden Ships' is the best song by a new band." - NIGHTSHIFT
'Oxford’s Elapse-O tap into a world before language. Elapse-O live is like a time-warp back to your childhood, back when you were attempting to make sense of all the sonic clutter around you, except that there is nothing immature about this band. It’s exhilarating – big bright lights exciting.' DROWNED IN SOUND
‘Chronic death disco, Sound like a battle to be signed to skingraft records between Swans, Liars and merzbow.’ -ROOM 237
