A five-piece outfit whose members all hail from the same village in Kent. Not only that, we ALL attended the same primary school, so we have literally grown up together.
You could even say that "Circle of Rage" was formed way before we even held any instruments. Through a mutual passion for Hardcore/alternative music coupled with recognition for strong, indicative lyrics, it seemed the next logical step to decide that...
..."We can do this!" "Let’s make a band.....so...who wants to play what?"
So that’s exactly what we did. We all had to learn to play and six years later, here we are!
From the moment we committed to the idea, we have worked tirelessly to hone our sound to what we KNEW we wanted. As a band, we are true believers in the "power of words". Furthermore, that Hardcore music should be a form of poetry set to hard-edged, aggressive, yet exciting and powerful music. It is this that we try to accomplish.
Our words reflect the punk/political clout of bands such as "Anti-Flag" and "Bad Religion" whilst our music takes a range of inspiration from 80’s metal i.e. "Megadeth", "Metallica", "Pantera" to more recent Hardcore offerings in the vein of "Refused", "Death by Stereo" & “Raised Fist”.
Instead of mere imitation, we try to marry our influences with more original structural concepts, so retaining that musical genuineness and independence.
Since we began playing live in March 2007 things have gone really well. Places that have been a home to the rage so far include Ashford, Canterbury, Margate, Gravesend, Bexleyheath- and that's just in Kent. In early '07 we played a couple of special little shows at The Brighton Institute of Music (BIM), nice and cosy. (See below for a shortlist of places we have played.)
We are also no strangers to playing the capital. If you're from the London area, please come and check us out. You'll frequently find us playing in Camden Town, having been on the bill for, and even headlined one of the regular Spineshaker nights at the Purple Turtle Bar.
Feeling lucky, we managed to wrangle a place on the EMERGENZA 2008 Battle of the Bands competition - a worldwide contest that takes place annually.
Over 3000 bands sign up every year and we managed to reach the semi-finals (the last 30 odd bands in London). Quite an achievement for a Hardcore band amongst the pop we think!
The radio hasn't escaped us either, appearing thrice on the live radio station JUICE FM in Brighton, and twice on Black 'n' Beard metal radio in Gillingham. Not to mention some air time on BBC Radio Kent; here’s to a few more of them.
Our lead guitarist (Mark) has appeared in the December 08 issue of “Total Guitar” (183), a well-know monthly music magazine.
Look out for us also in the monthly gig guide that is produced in Kent every four weeks.
As a band, we are really excited at the prospect of getting ourselves heard in the district! Obviously we are eager to play anywhere and everywhere. At the moment we are saving up all our rage earnings for a "band wagon"- (apparently they're quite expensive?) As soon as we get that, it's time for; "on the road rage!" No stopping us then - TOUR GALORE!
Bands we have played with so far include "Rise and Fall" (Belgium), "Lakes", "Killing the Dream" (California), "Flyin Ike", "Jealous", "Black&Blue", "Zettasaur", "Sparrows", "Orchards", "Son of Robot", "Azbo", "MeanTime", "Dan Williams All-Stars", "Scar my Eyes", "Apnia", "Avenge Thee", "Rise of the Simians", "Pig Iron", "Halide", "Thorn", "Downfall", "Dragnerve", "Snakebite", "Entropy", "As the Righteous Fall", "Marcus Bonfanti", "Ihbnia", "Epico", "KickKickMurderSquad", "Persevere", "Odessa Step Sequence", "Black Sky Mourning”, “Pandora", "Cursed as Angels", "KOI", "Wayward", "Dark Nicotine", "Silent Descent", "Zhain", "Send forth the Colony", "Blind Kids see Ghosts", "Seven Year Kismet", "Luntara", "Cause a Riot", "Kids with Cannons", "Machiavellian", "Gunner Sgt.", "Fleshwound", “Denounce”, “Sentinel”, “Innocent”, “Lich”, “Muted”, “Cavalar”, “Shadow Aspect”, “Arxis”, “Sons of Merrick”, “Shadow Moses”, “Repugnant Inebriation”, “The Furious Horde”, “Sister Ketamine”, ”Schizophrenia”, “Sizen”, “Crowning Glory”, “Sakura Drops”, “It came from the Asylum”, “The Freezing Fog”, “Shadow Moses”, “Mother Hydra”, “ Sky Lark”, “Savlon”, “Jekazol”, “Anoxia”, “Swelter”, “Fetch”, “Buried beneath the Ashes”, “Boris”, “Victim Identified”, “Our Malevolent Tyranny”, “NeonHalo”, “Sinuism”, “Massai”, “Bloodlust”, “Raze”, “Kolkarma”, “Krawling home”, “Colt .44”, “Twilight Green”, “Abadden” and a few more besides.
We have two releases in our arsenal.
The first we made in 2006/7 entitled “Let’s talk..!” was a 4-track demo of sorts. All recorded and produced ourselves.
The second disc, Curtains up EP, is our latest offering and was released in December 08.
All recorded ourselves but mixed by Gez Walton (formerly of “Ghost of a Thousand”) and mastered by Martin Kent (of Skunk Anansie).
It contains 3 tracks and we are really happy with the results.

act with their own character and their own creative methods."

"Their crunching, politically-charged
offerings leave many in the crowd mightily impressed."
