Metonia

On the back of collective frustration and in need of a fresh approach, Dave Widdowson, John Lawless and Paul Brogan formed Metonia in the Spring of 2004. Throwing ideas round a cramped practice space, they succeeded in finding themselves and have since gone on to be one of the North West's most promising indie/alternative rock bands due to their energetic live shows, and emotive songs. Metonia have achieved a sound built around the quality of their song writing, from soaring choruses to an intimate edginess which showcases many facets of the band's sound.

Since releasing their first album 'The seven time' in 2007 Metonia have gone from strength to strength with many more live shows supporting some of the best bands to hit the British and American rock scene including Band of Skulls and Future of the Left among others. More recently, Metonia have just finished their 2nd album 'Silence in Retreat' which is due for independant release late November 2010 which shows a harder edge in their songwriting but still keeping the musical capacity to a maximum.

From the beginning Metonia have always been about the live experience. The raw approach to their songs allowing the band to give themselves completely to the music, which has on numerous occasions left many an audience stunned. In the cold light of day, Metonia have got the lot.
