Biography
An intense blend of galloping rhythms, intelligent melodies and vocals that flow from touching harmonies to savage screams epitomise Guildford-based five piece Without Thought.
The quintet's technical ability combines with heartfelt lyrics to create an edgy, aggressive sound - mixing the brutal intensity of hardcore acts like Give Up The Ghost with Jimmy Eat World-style melodies and quiet sections comparable to Explosions in The Sky.
After four years of regular touring, the band have built up an army of loyal fans and continue to attract admirers with every show. Taking to the the stage with acts including Sikth, Static-X, Fell Silent, The Ghost Of A Thousand, Hondo Maclean, Million Dead, Enter Shikari and Exit Ten the band are becoming a regular fixture on line-ups across the south east.
Heralded as one of the best new rock bands to come out of the UK, the quintet's admirers already include Matt Pinfield of MTV/Sony USA and Bruce Dickinson who championed their singles Grey Matter and With Any Arms on his 6 Music show.
Without Thought have just released their debut album Get Down and Give Me Infinity. Bursting with punishing melodies, beautiful breakdowns and truly innovative songwriting, the record will soon be at the top of every rock fan's wishlist.
QUOTES:
"Now back in full force, with their mixture of hardcore aggression and strong melodies, it shouldn’t take too long to get back on track, not least with songs as strong as ‘Self Preservation’ and ‘Discipline."
7/10, Rocksound
"…the perfect blend of melodic verses and explosive choruses, with super tight stops and starts and menacing screamed backing vocals. Much of this album feels like classic pop thrash,"
4/5, Big Cheese
“the musical intelligence of Without Thought extends beyond each track to the concept of the whole piece. A very impressive debut album"
8/10, Sound Shock
"As heavy as expected and distinctly harmonious it hits an undercut right into the middle of the genre and hits it hard. Unhinged, raw and unapologetic their time is now."
4/5, Subba-Culture
"There is something about 'Get Down and Give Me Infinity' that keeps you listening again and again. Maybe it’s the bands deep, edgier music or the emotionally-driven vocals or perhaps; and most likely, their ability to combine both."
8/10, Alter the Press
"If you haven't heard of this band, be ashamed, and go check them out!"
Samara Kain, Rockworld TV
"You guys f*cking rock dude."
Matt Pinfield, MTV
"Without Thought have a knack for writing songs with razor sharp riffs, great melodies and big hooks. Definitely one of the best British bands at the moment. Check them out now!"
Jag, The Ghost Of A Thousand
