'Have Hope' Out Now
Available from iTunes here: http://bit.ly/HaveHopeiTunes

Management: Reece.bude@gmail.com



Formed in 2009, Caged are an up-and-coming hard-rock outfit from Essex. Caged recorded their first EP entitled "Let Go" in 2010 and recently released their second demo entitled "Falling Again".

Combining bone-crushing riffs with harmonized melodies seemed like an obvious choice for this young quartet and they manage to execute the fusion wholeheartedly. Conforming to predictable performances and conventional formulas however, definitely did not tempt Caged in the slightest. Intricate guitar solos flow effortlessly over a landscape of pounding drums without sacrificing their captivating vocal hooks or rock solid riffs. The Essex Four-Piece deliver a much-needed injection of adrenaline back into the veins of a dying local music scene leaving only roomfuls of thankful rock fans behind after each new destructive performance. 

Caged have supported established and rising acts across the Essex area such as Don Broco, Fei Comodo and NeverMeansMaybe. Boasting a flexible set and a growing inventory of great songs, Caged are gradually building a loyal fan base and are always interested in expanding their influence across the UK. Whilst world domination may not be an imminent reality, you would have to be extremely short-sighted to assume that this band is going to disappear any time soon.

High energy face melting metal band. We pride ourselves on our aggressive stage presence and the overall emotion we can make listeners feel from watching us.
UPDATE!!! 
We've been broke up for awhile, our E.P. soul kept bearers is available on ALL digital download sites.
I have decided to hijack this soundcloud account and add tunes from some of our other bands as well. I figured you might like it...

Kandur is a musician and songwriter, originally from Istanbul, best known for his captivating live performances and powerful rock n' roll sound. After moving to Kyiv for university in 2004, he began playing in various bands and quickly made a name for himself in the local music scene.

For years, Kandur honed his craft, playing with other bands and performing with his cover band. In 2013, he moved to San Francisco to pursue a career as a solo artist. During his 5 years there, he toured extensively, recorded new music, and shared the stage with some of his rock n' roll heroes.

Kandur released "Did You Ever" and "Save Me" singles in 2016, followed by the "Fantasy" EP in 2017, all of which were well-received by fans and critics alike. After moving back to Ukraine in 2019, he released the "Rumi" single and the "Atomic Garden Sessions" EP. However, shortly after the release of his EP, he had to leave Lviv with his family due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and they lived as refugees in Poland before settling in London.

Despite these challenges, Kandur remains focused on his music, and his upcoming release, "Who (Let Me Show You Around)," is a tribute to his Ukrainian bandmates and a celebration of playing with drummer Adam Lozynskyy, keyboardist Yevhen Kyrylenko and bassist Sviatoslav Tkachuk. The track was recorded in SoundPlant Studios Kyiv in August 2021 and showcases Kandur and his band's groovy, stoner-psychedelic inspired sound.

With each release, Kandur continues to evolve as an artist, drawing inspiration from his diverse cultural background and his experiences living in different parts of the world. His music speaks to people of all ages and backgrounds, and he remains committed to sharing his passion for rock n' roll with audiences around the globe.
