RAPIDS are a four-piece indie outfit who formed on the Gold Coast in 2008 before moving to Sydney to join the hurricane of bands trying to rustle up the old farmhouse. They reside in a converted office space above an art gallery in an industrial sector of Sydney, which means neighbors are a non issue. However, they pay for this luxury with the misfortune of a petite kitchen which would be better used as storage space.
RAPIDS enjoy experimenting and pride themselves on a wide spectrum of musical ideas and influences. They move cohesively and comfortably between assertive indie rock to lazy, hip hop infused thunder beats and beyond.
No matter which flavour they're dabbling with, RAPIDS believe vehemently in the importance of melody and its ability to mould a heart.
The boys have just recorded their first batch of demos which they are looking forward to getting out to new ears and eyes over the coming months.
