Island Three

"on tour this summer"

“I wish we could change the eyes of our loved ones, To make them see sense”

Smashing snares and cymbals, bone-crunching guitar riffs, ingenious bass lines, elegant piano and creative synths form a wall of sound that underlie heartfelt melodic vocals. Island Three are not interested in creating music that tops the charts, but dedicate themselves to making music that is as stimulating to listen to as it is to create. This is a new musical era, which calls on bands that aren’t afraid to break the pattern and push boundaries as far as they will go.

best industry quotes

“...Their sound is up-beat, melodic rock with a slight leaning towards the progressive, with some nice, evocative piano thrown in for good measure. Effective use of tempo changes give their well-constructed tracks a real energy, as does some first-rate guitar work and precise percussion, while the keys give their sound a heartfelt, atmospheric quality and were worked into their material well, never felling tacked on. On the night they delivered a tight and intense performance that saw them go down well with the Rainbow crowd, and flagged them as a band with a great deal of potential.” – Surface Unsigned '08 - Round 1
"I got in just as Island Three were starting...they had a good turnout, in fact (I thought) slightly better than the other bands. And I thought they sounded very good - the more experimental side of their sound came across really well, probably because you could actually hear it. As for specifics...I dunno, but I got a nice big smile on my face and there was some distinct toe-tapping going on. So they get the silver shoes' seal of approval." - Diary of a Silver-Footed Gig Slut
