Siphon Test Article

Siphon are a Scottish modern rock band, originally formed in 2006 under the name Siphon Plane, by brothers Leo and Cam Hunter. Following a move to Glasgow, Siphon Plane gained fans throughout Scotland, playing in various clubs and other small venues. In 2010, the band went through a major change in genre, shifting from Heavy metal to a lighter rock sound. The word 'Plane' was dropped from the name at the same time to help reinforce the new image.

Formation
Siphon's earliest origins lie in Dalbeattie, where the band was created while founding members Leo and Cam were at school there. They are the only members still in the band today, with others frequently coming and going in the first two years.

Siphon Plane
In 2008 the Hunter brothers moved to Glasgow. During this time the band's popularity began to increase, and they toured around Scotland, both as headline acts and supporting larger bands. The band's membership was most stable during this period with few changes.

The New Siphon
In 2010, almost a year after the release of the EP 'Session 1/2', the band underwent a dramatic change, changing the name to Siphon, and replacing everyone but singer and guitarist Leo, and drummer Cam. At this stage, their genre changed from metal to modern, light rock, although clear metal influences are present in some songs. In this phase of the band, Siphon was reduced to a trio, until 2012.

In early 2012, the band took on new members Ash Hart and Kenny Leneham. As the year continues they have produced new material at a far more regular rate with several singles, 2 EPs, one tour, and another planned.
