Freedom

Asterox combine the hints of artful Americana with sleazy blues rock, to create their own blend of deep and vibrant music. Music which is tuneful, which has a uniquely British twist running through it, and which retains the gravitas befitting such experienced musicians.

Formed in Oxford, Asterox feature the powerful vocals of Ian Hinde and the gritty guitar of Roland Moore. Between them, Ian and Roland also play harmonica, sax and woodwind.
