about

An eclectic, experimental instrumental band whose chief concerns are shredding eardrums and melting faces, Cathodes was formed in 2011 by former members of Redditch's Keiko, Cheltenham's Nurse and Derby's YouNoGoDie. Rather than rehearse in service stations between these locations they decided to set up shop in Birmingham, where they set themselves to honing a set of tunes that fused post-rock, mathcore, alternative and grunge into a dark, heady brew that led one seasoned observer to note, "You're like the evil version of The Shadows, you are."

Cathodes' debut EP 'Ghosts of People We Should Have Been' is now available for free download at cathodes.bandcamp.com

"...Brooding, aggressive and ultimately impressive noise. You don't see too many EPs with heavyweight heft throwing punches like this, let alone one that's a debut. It's chock full of riotous slabs of rock bravado and untameable experiments that would leave Dr. Frankenstein quaking in his boots. The rascally frolicking with rhythms and tempo is astounding, and with only one slight release they've proved they're an insanely talented bunch of lads who know how to tactfully work their way around a weary genre to craft something invigorating." - Larry Day / live-music-scene.co.uk

"I can see myself listening to this for some time. I cannot get over how well these guys build up that uncertain feeling you get when the tension builds in a song. You just want it to resolve and make everything right again, but Cathodes string you along throughout the tracks until you can hardly cope anymore. That is a good thing, by the way!" - Tenacious Listening

"...Cathodes have successfully written intense, mature tracks with a deep musical intricacy that never relents." - Andrew Hammond, MAG Magazine
