Biography
Don't Mention the Metronomes are a five-piece alternative rock band from Bridgend, Wales. As on January 2007, the band are unsigned and have only relatively recently entered the chaotic scene in Bridgend, which predominantly features emo/nu-metal/hardcore acts.
Their sound can be described as something sitting vaguely between Queens of the Stone Age and The Pixies.
Pop dynamics mixed with restrained improvisation, whimsy combined serious social commentry, grungy guitars tempered with a marginal use of keyboard and violin.
The individual members of the band draw influences from a wide range of styles from 90's grunge to 70's prog rock to modern alternative bands but they try not to limit themselves to one particular style.
Recently the band broke up amiably due to the guitarist moving to england in order to pursue a university degree. The remaining members have moved on to form the New Pagans a band with a similar but more developed sound.
