Kontrast

Kontrast are a diverse three piece Rock band from the suburbs of Birmingham. They have a massive appreciation for music of all eras. Their main influences include: Rush, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi, The Clash, Rancid and many more... They consider themselves to be a fun loving, energetic party band who thrive from playing live. There fun loving nature is present in their upbeat music and catchy lyrics. As well as being able to create a party atmosphere. The band was born in an 8’x12’ back garden out house at drummer Chris’ house which is affectionately known as ‘Studio 120’. Chris and bassist Dan cleared out all the junk and built themselves a rehearsal space so they wouldn’t have to folk out for expensive rehearsal rooms which they was used to doing with other bands they’d been in. After the room was cleared out and decorated with posters of their favourite bands they started to jam together, playing covers from bands such as The Jam, The Clash, Muse and many other rhythm heavy bands and artists, as well as coming up with their Drum and Bass jams, these jams would later become the basis of tracks such as ‘Winless war’ and ‘Funky Fish’. When guitarist and vocalist Paul came back from America where he was working, Dan and Chris showed him ‘Studio 120’ and he started to get involved with playing covers and writing some songs. So after a few months of playing, writing and having a laugh, the guys found themselves with about 10-15 songs and realised they were a band and wanted to start gigging.
