Degrees of Separation’s fusion of alternative and Queen-influenced rock experimentation; a serving for the curious of the new outlook on modern rock.

Crafted by guitarist/singer Markus Saastamoinen who founded the band in 2007, along with drumming powerhouse Beau Karnaghan, in 2008 the band began playing shows supporting the likes of Noiseworks and Choirboys. By mid '08, world-renowned record producer Mark Opitz (AC/DC, INXS, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, John Paul Young amongst others) began monitoring and mentoring Degrees of Separation.  From this point, the band went on to play shows alongside Shihad and Shannon Noll.  Fast forward to 2015 and Degrees of Separation release their new album entitled 'Beautiful Agony'.  Completing the band’s line-up with his thunderous bass sounds is Simon Best.  The bands influences range from Queen, Muse, Van Halen, INXS, Dream Theater and U2.

Divergent worlds of music genres have collided to form a new, modern alternate take on rock - Degrees of Separation.
