  • Bio

    An uncompromising assault on the ears, Fragments challenge preconceived notions of what music should be. The mixed-genre music incorporates cacophonous noisecore, math and post-rock melodies to create a sound that is as disjointed as it is captivating. Intensely raw, yet precise, musicality makes for memorable live show. A hardworking and unrelenting band, Fragments is a musical force to be reckoned with. -------------------- "Krunk widdle, skronk widdle wah wah wah. [This is normally the problem with noisecore, but] Belfast's Fragments have mixed in a bit of moody post rock to make all those dissonant chords and eccentric taps a bit more meaningful. All good, all tight, all energetic [...but] their demo presents a better place to take in what they do. Opener 'To The Water' [has] technicality giving way to a damp, echoed and open breather. It has mood, and [...] swells amicably before knuckling down again. The lengthy 'The Faceless Grey' is up next: overtly technical exercises balanced by bleaker atmospheres later on. It's thick, well produced and well played. A great listen for sure, [...] this genre still fascinates enough people that it will prove relevant for many. Where Fragments excel is their opening out. They could really be on to something here. With sad, ghostly samples nicely used to good effect ('End Of Invention'), there's even a hint to the likes of Frantic Bleep. A pretty cool recommendation."

Press:

"...overtly technical exercises balanced by bleaker atmospheres later on. It’s thick, well produced and well played. A great listen for sure." (MetalIreland.com)
"...The best new band in Northern Ireland!" (BBC Radio 1 'Introducing')
"...A noteworthy band! Well-written songs and great vocals!" (British Tech-Metal)
"...The band [has] an unruly technical prowess, replete with erratic time changes, and an ambient midway passage, both of which encapsulate the riveting dichotomy of Fragments' sound. Fragments are most definitely the band of the night and whatever the band release next is sure to be one to watch out for! [9/10]" (Molten Magazine - October 2011)
"Fragments are an entirely different kettle of fish, with a sound that definitely stands apart from many other bands on the scene. Mixing brutal hardcore with progressive interludes (which could be seen as disjointed in the hands of a lesser band), their stunning musicianship wins through!" (Hevypetal.com)
