Life couldn’t be sweeter at the moment for The Banded Sound and its four musical members. Don’t be fooled by the logistics - yes, the band was formed at the beginning of 2011 but as the name suggests it is the final product of a merger of two wonderful and wacky bands. What started off as a couple of Melbourne mates getting together to produce some of their finest music in the ordinary backyard garage has resulted in a world-wind of tours, overseas exposure and even snapping up a Swedish drummer. Three of the band’s four members - Peter, Robby and Emmet originate from Melbourne rock band Chasing Gravity while Swedish drummer Gustav began and still currently rocks out with The Wellingtons. The Banded Sound likens their Melodic Rock themed tunes to something in between the Birds of Tokyo and The Butterfly Effect. An alternative to mainstream rock has set the band in good stead to challenge the competitive market and leave its mark where it matters – with their fans. Sounding
