The members of British rock band Area 11 call
their sound "gaijin rock" -- a fusion of pop-punk,
metal, prog, and glam fortified by a major
obsession with anime. A rock band from the UK
who blend modern rock with something new.
Main support is now confirmed as Milestones.
Manchester has a legacy of producing some of
the worlds’ best bands, so it’s always good to
keep an eye on the bands coming out of the
North West. These young lads have started to
make a name for themselves so make sure you
stay tuned…
We have a pair of tickets to give
away for this gig at The Slade
Rooms, Wolves on 28th July. Just send an
email to the address below with ‘Area’ in the
subject title to be in with a chance of winning.
Area 11 began in Nottingham in 2010, and relocated to Bristol in 2012. Their
sound is that of modern rock, and yet they do not hesitate to incorporate
elements from other genres, cultures and time periods into their work.
They have released an album, a couple of EPs, a number of singles, and a whole
host of music videos. They have toured the UK twice to capacity audiences. Their
music has already permeated alternative and popular culture, which is reflected
their chart success and loyal fanbase of over 100,000 worldwide (and counting).
