August Gone

Straight outta St Clements, fronted by bassist, singer and songwriter August, August Gone has quite literally gone from being a remote collaboration to a three-piece live act bursting with rock ‘n’ roll energy.
A smorgasbord of influences serving up slices of grunge, rock, metal, country, funk and a mild dash of pop create a uniquely fresh, deliciously vintage vibe.

In early 2022, August Gone delivered their first set of original, self-produced songs in the form of EP ‘Four Leaf Clover’ available on all major streaming platforms, closely followed by the release of music video and single ‘Apathy’, filmed and directed by the highly regarded and talented local filmmaker Philip Clyde-Smith.

With plenty more songs in the offing and more upcoming releases, August Gone's focus has now turned to bringing their sound to the stage for your viewing and aural pleasure.

I am a freestyle metal / alternative rock artist and heavily influenced by 80s music in general.

I do have an excellent drummer on my corner who blasts the beats and with whom I compose the tracks.

In Gaza / Ukraine / Russia and the rest of the conflicted world, people die - day in day out, we as a human race could care a bit more.

The raging wars serve as a catalyst for the lyrics in most of the existing and upcoming songs. It seems that killing each other is the only way forward as written in the lyrics on the song - The Violent Ones.

War Metal as I see it, is to write lyrics about the insanity of war and not to forget those who died.

These are some of the dark layers of life

TAPATORA name has multiple meanings. It is an ancient name for a male that was mainly used in Finland. It is also the name of an island near Tampere and if you translate it in English, it means kill the quarrel / dispute / wrangle.

Media composer. My music has featured in the Emmy Award-winning series UNITED SHADES OF AMERICA (CNN), the documentary SUBNORMAL: A BRITISH SCANDAL (BBC One) – which is executive produced by Steve McQueen and featured on The Guardian's "Best TV of 2021 (so far)" list – and an international advertising campaign for internet brand HONEY.

My music has been recorded in venues including Abbey Road and Maida Vale Studios.

I present BBC Introducing in Jersey playing the best of Jersey's music scene. I play drums and guitar and love pretty much any kind of music as long as it's good.
