Talons are an instrumental band, who call the backwater town of Hereford their home. Forging the explosive energy of hardcore, the subtleties of post-rock and the fractured song structures and complexities associated with math-rock, Talons possess a fascinating sense of urgency and drive, with a sound that both soothes and savages in equal measure.
The band are best experienced in a live environment, where the visceral, raw energy of their music can be fully appreciated.
So far the band have had the pleasure of sharing stages with some great bands such as iForward Russia!, 65 Days of Static, Future of the Left, Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics, Johnny Foreigner, Frank Turner, Tubelord and Pulled Apart By Horses.
Huw Stephens gave the band their first airing on Radio 1, playing 'The Tragic Decline of Buff Orpington' on his Wednesday night BBC Introducing show. The band have also featured in a new bands column in Q Magazine, Rock Sound, and have played shows for Clash Magazine, Rock Sound and Drowned In Sound.
