Amid Concrete & Callousness would proudly like to present their debut EP; From Sketch to Stability!
1. Opening Lines
2. Grey Square Symphony
3. addENDum ~FLIGHT OF SOUL~ '08
4. Oath to the Above
5. Resolution for the Weekend
6. Esoterica
7. Grey Square Gaiden
The EP features seven awesome tracks of post emotive rock, which blend a mixture of hard edged progressive pop songwriting with uplifting trance and fervent electronica.
"What starts out with agreeable-enough Thrice-ish histrionics soon hops to a strange reality where Enter Shikari's debut had as seismic an effect as Dylan going electric. An easy listening version of that reality... It takes real talent to be this worrying."
- The NME
“They call themselves "progressive pop" but there's much more going on here… Piping in piano and organ behind their verses whipping up a pop punk glaze to an already glittering confection… Over the seven tracks on this EP, they try to give all their musical predilections equal weight, making some of the songs as full as Gordon Brown's pants when the Iraq enquiry is mentioned. "Grey Square Symphony" and "Resolution for the Weekend" are particularly fun, the latter backing into a commercial prog sound that can't help but echo The Mars Volta... this album will certainly reward your tenacity.”
- Powerplay Magazine UK
“You think you've heard it all? You think there's nothing new under the sun? Well there is, and this band are doing it… This is the sound of contemporary progressive indie that's positively unique in the sense that it combines this huge depth of sound with exceedingly tasty dynamics, gloriously varied lead vocals and remarkable arrangements, all wrapped up in modern day indie songwriting that's got “addictive” flowing through its veins. This is a sextet who are charting a new and refreshing course in modern indie circles… The epitome of “progressive indie” that's got a definite appeal to 40 years of music fans… this band have gone one step further and created something that spans the decades, remains decidedly modern yet has a future that cannot diminish its qualities in any way at all"
- Dead Earnest
"I want you to picture Enter Shikari f*cking Forever The Sickest Kids. This is their child. It's a beautiful child. The structures and musicianship create wonderful textures and layers atop a beautiful execution of dueling male/female vocal presentation. It's really something I believe you should just experience for yourself and find out. I think it's great."

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
