Kubrick
Biography
Like all the best guitar driven music blasting its way into our consciousness in the new millennium, Kubrick are about the distillation of aggression, melody and emotion.Frontman Richard Gombault might well have been the lynchpin of 90's Warner signed, indie-rockers Midget, but Kubrick are cut from an all together more intense cloth. With grooves as wide as the Grand Canyon and barnstorming riffs that owe a debt of gratitude to the low-slung thundery of Helmet and Kyuss, Kubrick are slab heavy, metal merchants. But they know well enough to temper their assaults with achingly infectious melodies and choruses that apply for residency in your brain from the first second you hear them!
Debut single, 'Reverie', is a stunning example of the blueprint the band employ. Rhythmic blocks of guitar and pneumatic drumming propel the track directly into a contagious chorus and straight out the other side.
"We want to remind people of all the things they loved about heavy, melodic music that nu-metal caused them to forget," explains frontman Richard Gombault.
For a band bred on an eclectic mix of The Pixies, Nine Inch Nails, Faith No More and The Cure you'd expect no less. Kubrick sound compellingly contemporary whilst always remaining noticeably distant from the waves of increasingly self referential and generic dross that is clogging up the airwaves right now.
"We aim to be everything that was ever any good about music." says Richard with a glint in his eye!
