Edit history

Sydney's Without Wings are the sound of progressive, atmospheric rock in Australia – part of the next generation of bands inspired by forerunners like Karnivool and The Butterfly Effect. The band commands an impressively full dynamic range – able to change tempo in a heartbeat and step effortlessly from gentle moments to a crushing heaviness. Driven by the exemplary musicianship and chemistry between Kyle Turner, Roger Wehbe, Chris Grumley, Shaun Cooper and Simon Cleary; Without Wings' music can be invitingly simple or flat-out impressive in its complex creativity. Catharsis, the band's debut EP, speaks volumes about the extended level of creativity and musicianship in Without Wings, and their ability to write engaging, beautiful songs. From the powerful sing-along chorus of opening track Legacy (Beyond My Reach), to the frighteningly precise rhythms of Under The Surface, to the dichotomy of guitar sounds in The Longest Night; Catharsis is an incredibly refined first release.
