Formed in early 2014 in an Essex bedroom with a drum kit and a practice amp, Figures started piecing together what are now some of their biggest crowd pleasers. Drawing influences from the distorted riffs of Biffy Clyro to the obscurities and progressions of The Mars Volta, Figures are rapidly crafting their own identity with head-nodding grooves, lucid movement between genres, intriguing effects pedals and surprising turns at every corner. Although just a three-piece - consisting of George Berry (guitar/vocals), Jake Stonebrook (drums) and Jack Stevenson (bass/vocals) - the trio boasts a huge sound.
With the release of their debut EP on 16/11/15 the Essex-based band are spreading their material through different venues around the county & London, already playing two local festivals last summer, taking main support slots for bands such as VANT and Q Magazines band of the year 2014 The Savage Nomads as well as acquiring local radio airplay and interviews. The young band are soon to be playing their biggest gig to date at the 02 Academy Islington.
