Following on from the blown out psychedelic infused ‘Rapture’ released earlier this year, Exit Calm return on 23rd September with ‘The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be’ out on Club AC30. The Barnsley based quartet return bringing with them an evolution of their sound that reaffirms their position at the forefront of British guitar bands. 

Immersing the listener straight into the tripped out mesmerising world of Exit Calm, ‘Rapture’ opens the proceedings with pulsating bass and blissed-out drums that set the tone for the rest of the album. 

From the cavalcade of musicianship throughout and on the breakbeat-tinged fury of ‘Albion’ to the Bunnymen guitars and groove of ‘Fiction’ the songs illustrate their passion for emotive song writing that invokes the spirit of their influences. 

‘The Promise’ arrives with a swirl of 60s meets shoegaze that sits immaculately alongside stadium rock amidst post-rock and psychedelic tendencies. The cacophonous guitar and bass lines are set perfectly against the pounding percussion of ‘When They Rise’, ‘Rapture’ and ‘Holy War’.

Producing music with heart, style and integrity mixed with the euphoria and hedonism. The talent of Rob Marshall’s haunting guitar work and the fluid rhythm section weaves between the raw but compelling vocals of Nicky Smith that have made them a firm favourite on the live circuit. 

Exit Calm have supported the likes of Modest Mouse, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Boxer Rebellion and Soulsavers and taken to the stage at V Festival and Tokyo’s Liquid Rooms to name a few. 

For your chance to catch their exhilarating live show and upcoming festival dates, keep an eye on their website: http://www.exitcalm.net/  Live dates will be announced shortly.

New single ‘When They Rise’ will be released on 26th August. Todd Eckert, the producer of acclaimed Joy Division biopic ‘Control’, directed the video. Exit Calm will be touring the UK throughout September. 

Exit Calm is Nicky Smith (vocals), Rob Marshall (Guitars), Simon Lindley (Bass) and Scott Pemberton (Drums).

Exit Calm - Fiction

Exit Calm's Upcoming Gigs
Sat 20 Dec, 14 
The Underground, Barnsley , United Kingdom

Powered by GigaTools

If the past is a foreign country, then Exit Calm have a past worth exploring.  

After only two months together and one raw, visceral demo, the band were playing Tokyo’s Liquid Rooms;  a gig that gave Stone Roses bassist Mani, cause to label them “proper fuckin' music”.  The band haven’t looked back since. 

Incendiary live show followed incendiary live show as the band brought their uplifting, ethereal sound across the UK and into Europe. Sold out dates throughout the country have seen the band share the stage with groups as diverse as The Charlatans, Modest Mouse, Echo & The Bunnymen and Soulsavers, along the way developing a loyal fan base, which play their own part in making Exit Calm gigs an epic experience.

With soaring, widescreen guitar layers, deep heady grooves and front-man Nicky Smith's primal delivery, echoes of musical heroes such as Elbow, Doves, Unkle, The Verve and Spiritualized are undeniable, yet Exit Calm's output is incomparably unique and in a class of its own. This is a band that once seen, leave no doubt in belief, coming alive on stage and evoking an atmosphere of epic proportions.
 
After three sold out vinyl singles, the release of their self-titled LP in 2010 was the culmination of three years hard work.  Aggressive but not confrontational, focused but not myopic and melodic rather than pop, Exit Calm was an album that had to be made. The majestic beauty of ‘Don’t look down’, the massive attack-drive of ‘Forgiveness’ and the soaring call to arms of ‘Hearts and Minds’ all invoke the spirit of the band's influences, at the same time standing alone as a unique statement of intent. 

The album has garnered much praise. Upon hearing it, Todd Eckhart (producer, 'Control') said: “Pure Genius – the assembly of iron and wood because temples must be made. And the avoidance of all that whiny, sexless bullshit passing for rebellion at the moment." And his is not alone. Huw Stephens (Radio 1) said the band is “Truly Epic”, Guitarist Magazine described the album as “A sonic and soulful masterpiece.”, Inspiral Carpets/XFM’s Clint Boon declared: “file under the greatest rock bands of all time”. Both Radio 1 (Zane Lowe) and Radio 2 (Janice Long) have supported the band's releases, and the band performed on the Janice Long live session in 2012.

But it’s not all about the past with Exit Calm. Recent live shows have seen the debut of the modern- baggy-meets-grunge anthem blow out of ‘The Rapture’; the breakbeat-tinged fury of ‘Albion’ and the melodic, Bunnymen guitars and groove of ‘Fiction’. In the current era of disposable heroes, Exit Calm tread a different path. From a band who simply list their influences as three legendary record labels, their output invokes the same classic approach to music as Creation Records. They bring the euphoria and hedonism of Factory to the progressive, with the forward thinking ideals of Mo Wax, producing music with heart, style and integrity.
