MySpace a place for friends

Born in the midst of a Leeds musical hurricane, Zoo in Flames are fashioned from all the things that should get done but never do. Originally, the movement that would become Zoo in Flames was some kind of non-ritual LS6 hobby for Foxy and Dave. After too long of other things getting in the way, friends were drafted in to write and create a new sound with the only stipulation being a keenness to make music. Jamie struck out on vocals, with Andy delivering bass, and Tom exorcising the drums. Through late autumn and high winter the band toiled with their craft. The intention of fusing a traditional guitar sound with modern electronic synthesizers and effects highlights the intensity of the cacophonous vigour of the band. Come spring, the fire had been ignited. Although perhaps currently junior in a sense to the rest of the Leeds scene, the band have a sense of well being that only comes with knowing that what they hold can't be held forever. The band themselves have very varied tastes, thus adding to the genre-less aura the band possess, from modern-day guitar music to avant-garde electronica, add a fistful of obscurities and the famine may start to waiver.
