ARTIST Hiatus

"This Band have it all, from an utterly believable crackled rock vocal to the uber-versatile guitars and the bass and drums that keep the groove going the whole time" "Hiatus could be the foundations for a whole new Manchester scene" HIATUS have been honing their craft rehearsing relentlessly and performing wherever and whenever, drawing on many influences. Rock from all the decades can be heard in the mix along with funk, indie and metal. Not the easiest band to pigeonhole, but definitely one of the hardest to ignore. They’re a myriad of contrasts, heavy, yet soothing, much like Dominic’s vocals, delicate yet raspy, and above all…REAL. That’s probably what makes HIATUS stand out from the current crop of rock hopefuls, they perform and write from the heart, never recording anything that doesn’t hit their own car CD players. Some of the best venues in the UK have played host to HIATUS, London Astoria (final of Emergenza, winners best guitarist), Staffordshire University, Manchester Academy 3 (various supports for SJM / Mean Fiddler etc..) to name but a few. HIATUS are now touring their self titled/self made debut album. (Hiatus definition of Self Made - " We bought a Yamaha aw16g basically to remember arrangements of riffs, half beats, etc and fundamentally use it as a writing tool. After the fist few recording sessions we realized that the Yamaha was a damn good machine if you could be bothered to read the manual properly. So what we ended up doing was renting a mill, building a studio and making an album!)
