Biography

We could launch into the intricate details of the droll existences that formed our lives before ‘The Doppler Shift’ took shape, but those stories are locked in vaults waiting for their release in drunken tales and Eulogies.

The important part of the story and where this particular little tale should begin, is behind the crooked blacked out windows and on the soiled shoe scuffed streets of Brighton in Sussex, where four like-minded (read: bitter, cynical and creatively frustrated) individuals of mixed stature began meddling with clicks and pops that would finally gestate into rhythms and beats.

Inspired by the broadest and smallest of life’s trivialities, our charge is to draw attention to what others might miss. Some things are too small to see, others too great, in either case we are trying with each anxious lyric and nervous melody to find a way of telling something that may have gone unnoticed.

Why?

Because often it’s hard to see things for yourself. Because the subtleties of life that are so often overlooked, bring with them the highest rewards.

  1. i love the read of you!r biography

  2. i loved it too or shud i say the lack of one most biogs are usually of upper class twits pretending to come from a council estate, its so polished ur music so Im guessing the producers got form. The lyrics could be a tale of my life sadly but with the dark night of the soul answers too, its absolutely brill but the only thing that bugs me, is u sound like Coldplay & Muse too much melody wise but the non linear drumming is gr8. I think that whining verses bit with hi pitch vocals I have heard that for over ten years now Im so bored of it its like a little kid moaning all the time. Surely the era of self pity is over the three stages to the truth is riducule, anger & acceptance maybe its time to reduce the acceptance & do some ridicule, i think Jarvis cocker & Morrisey were great at that, unless u can think of a new stage best of luck guys BTW ur way better than Coldplay & Muse they really r crap. I hope u find ur own sound ur certainly knocking on the door but i know like Muse it wont be long before u turn into a dance band is the easy option four to floor lol

  3. Thanks for your comments on this. As for the production, we do all this ourselves so glad it has made an impact. As for our influences, you can’t choose them they just settle in your head and you draw on the ones that you need when you need them. the era of self pity…I like the sound of that.
