Contrast (Norway)

Contrast (Australia)

Contrast are an unsigned band from Melbourne, Australia. Originally formed in 2012 by James Thompson (guitar), Nathan Brown (bass guitar) and Jack Crook (lead vocals, guitar). They were later joined by drummer Tom Smeets (Steering by Stars) in late 2013.

Their sound can be described as punchy, built on a solid wall of sound which is harmoniously underpinned by a driving rhythm section. They juxtapose soaring distorted guitar with laid back jangley undertones-the result of a fairly prominent shoegaze/post-punk influence. Contrast also draw inspiration from the likes of: Mercy Arms, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Church and Sonic Youth.

Their independently released debut single 'Dull' was toured throughout Eastern Australia with Hollow Everdaze. The single was produced by Thomas De Vries (The Citradels) and mixed/mastered at Birdland Studios by Lindsay Gravina (Rowland S. Howard, New War).

Having played a dizzying number of live shows in and around Melbourne, Contrast returned to Birdland Studios Late in 2013 to record and master several new songs with Lindsay Gravina.

Their latest single 'Pipe Dreams' is due for release in March 2014.
