Biography
Brought together in the summer of 2006 by a
series of twists of fate and a single-minded determination to make
something truly special, Circuits currently find themselves a year
later living a la 'Help' at their West London HQ. Like many great
bands before them, Circuits move with the style and mentality of a
classic gang, a mind-set that shines through in the tight and
flawless essence of each song and the killer harmonies that
permeate their sound. Having played in various guises under a
variety of monikors, and having gone through several line-up
changes and experiments with various different elements of their
influences since late 2005, it wasn't until the true, final and
only line up of Benny, Nicky, Nick Junior and Simon was established
before Circuits were truly born. An eight legged behemoth hell bent
on doing it their own way.
Their spiky Brit punk has an instant
pop appeal that keeps its cool whilst not being ashamed to let out
a riot inducing chorus. A band that know and love their influences
enough to let them find their own way into their sound naturally,
Circuits combine the edginess of New Wave with echoes of Elvis
Costello, fond looks over their shoulders to The Specials and the
in-your-face power of the The Clash. Think The Police if Sting had
been a fighter not a tantric lover.
The sonic big picture is
made of Nick's love of juggernaut sized drums, Simon's unrelenting,
brooding bass lines and Nicky's intense, headown guitar playing
that combines the crisp with the delicate. Fronted with passion and
energy by Benny with his unique vocal style with its balance of
vulnerability and bravado, he conveys his messages of love lost and
missed opportunities with the sharpest of lyrics and smartest of
attitudes.
Tours with the likes of Bedouin Soundclash, Air
Traffic, The Blood Arm and Nightmare of You and a devastating gig
that brought the coolest of Paris crowds to their knees have left
wide eyed teens in love, jaded music fans converted and everyone
else wondering when this band are going to take the headlining
crowns they so richly deserve. With 3 limited edition singles
already released Circuits unleashed their first proper single -
“Young Enough Not To Care” on August 13th, 2007.
And after that?
The debut album which looks set to break the convention of mere
promises of potential by delivering a stunning statement of
intent.
And after that? The band themselves will re-write their
own Wikipedia entry.
