Island Three

Winners of Aston University's Battle of the Bands 2010



".cleverly mixing indie with prog-metal, Island Three have developed a unique sound that has the potential to cross previously insurmountable genre boundaries." - Classic Rock presents Prog.



".a confident and capable band that blends experimental prog with modern alternative rock to create an out of this world feel." - Black Velvet Magazine.



"“Dark and Empty Spaces is full of great vibes, strong melodies and unexpected twists and turns. Clever, solid, well written songs you want to put on replay…” - Dan Tompkins - Tesseract/Piano (Ex-FSOF)



".an interesting mix of musical influences that on occasion

break apart in the manner of Jazz, but in the main stay merged to produce a progressive blend of interesting melodies that are heart capturing." - Rock3Music



“.Forget perfect road trip anthems, this six track mini album is like a voyage across a lunar landscape! Atmospheric keys, expansive guitars and Incubus style vocals are what these guys are all about. Heavy, melodic, atmospheric and at times beautiful. The Darker side of the Moon” – Get Ready To Rock



“.DAES is expansive and progressive. Wailing vocals, grand choruses, pianos and epic guitars ensure maximum bluster and beautification!” – Tasty Fanzine



“.This Birmingham-spawned quintet have the chops to be going places very soon.Add some more progressive elements to latterday Incubus and you’d be close to their sound. They can rock hard, but are also fully capable of reigning things in and letting the songs breathe too – a strong quality indeed. With a bit more fire in your bellies you could well be onto something big!” –Powerplay



“The city of Birmingham seems to have a knack of providing some extremely interesting bands – and on this evidence it would seem that England’s second city has another collective they can be proud of.the effect [of their music] is akin to the euphoric high of some top quality…ahem….sherbert, without the comedown” – Live Music Scene
