09.04 // The Cold One Hundred

The Cold One Hundred have amassed barely a handful of gigs, and are already on people's Ones to Watch list. Their hauntingly beautiful music harks back to the pre-digital age, with their music honed in song-writing sessions before being "developed into a much heavier, fuller sound live."

The songs have come naturally, when "Amory and Jake started writing songs together just over a year ago. Now we're building upon that set with input from the whole band and we're striving towards constantly developing our sound." TCOH collectively explain.

Given their relative infancy they must first find their feet and be given space to breathe "We've all been in bands before, with varying degrees of success, but this is a band with a new focus." The band seem keen to use past experiences to their advantage.

Musical comparisons are evident, yet this is a band keen to find their own path "We try to steer clear of such comparisons but as with any new band comparisons are bound to arise. We think drawing such parallels can sometimes defeat the object of being a new band. "

Previous experience may explain the band's outlook, and they should be applauded for their approach. "Every song starts with a riff or melody that gets built upon, which is perhaps why one song may appear to have more 'mystique', whilst the other is catchy. We don't see any reason why an expressive song can't still be a pop song."

Reccomended Track - 'Failing'

See The Cold One Hundred play a HV show at Deaf Institute on 23rd April
