cryoverbillionaires are a 3 piece alternative rock band from edinburgh.
"edinburgh's best kept secret"- Cab Vol
''This verve overflows into their music, which is unique without being too try-hard; different but not alienating. Their persistent rock is flavoured with elements of dance and seasoned with a determined rhythm section
Unafraid to experiment with unusual instruments and effects, Wilson attribute this to the band's unique edge: "We all play various instruments and we're not afraid to stray from the original idea for the band."
Despite such experimental tendencies, a steady stage presence compliments their solid wall of sound: colourful melody and the echoey drawl that constitutes vocals often jostling for position. Their dramatic mélange of fast/slow, loud/quiet, renders each song continually intriguing while Turbo Rat distortion effects add a hint of psychedelia''. THE SCOTSMAN
"I do love a melody trying desperately to break out of a wall of sound. Not that it’s tunes over screaming feedback or anything.. that would be doing them a sever injustice. What they actually do is a full blooded take on disco punk (though more punk than disco)" JIM GELLATLY
":cryoverbillionaires (4/5) are an entirely different kettle of piranha, pairing crunchy guitars and confrontational, booming vocals with tender, brittle psychedelic moments; their heady blend of loud-quiet-loud is dramatic at best. Evoking, for touchstone comparison's sake, McClusky, Stapleton and Deftones having some kind of a three-way arm wrestle, their firebrand works and is at its most challenging when singer and drummer peel paint off the walls by sparring over Of All Evil's roaring chorus." THE SKINNY MAG
"Scores of walking billboards drove the crowds to 'Cryoverbillionaires', who threw themselves into a fantastic set. A tense, progressive instrumental launched them into dance-metal fusion number 'Of All Evil', Darrell Wilson's heavy vocals providing a perfect contrast to the new rave beats. The Muse-inspired 'Amusements' showed off the bands amazing technical ability, with flawless switches in tempo, while crowd favourite 'Tokyo Laundry' had metalheads and ravers alike jumping around wildly. The Edinburgh band were clearly in their element as they concluded with 'Colours', which culminated in some stunning Floyd-esque guitar work, and a final song, 'Squares', which hinted subtly at Idlewild and Biffy Clyro".
