Sounds Like
We like to think we've got a pretty unique and exciting sound. We don't stick to the same sorta thing all the time. We kinda play what we think sounds good.
Mike (Blindside; Ruined Era) and Stu (Backwater; Aqualung) began toying with song ideas in early 2006, they soon discovered that they had stumbled across something special. Adrien joined them in October 2006 bringing his unusual brand of stoned enthusiasm with him. Although Mike and Stu are the chief songwriters, Adrien contributes effectively with his strong beats and vibes (Roots n Electro background)
The band started to put together different ideas, combining their extensive background of experience. Infusing elements of Ska, Reggae, Punk, Rock and even Jazz, the aptly named Architects had designed their own sound.
The band have recently got together for some recording sessions and are now very confident that they have a set ready to blow away many innocent onlookers. They are looking to establish themselves in the live circuit as soon as they can and are looking forward to partaking in some more home recording as well as laying down some more tracks!
One thing is for sure, once these boys get going they will be hard . . . . . to stop!
