Castles consists of four elements - the drums, the electric bass, the electric guitar and the human voice.

A mutual friend introduced Bertrand Bourguignon, Jérome Considérant and Edward Godby in late May 2010. This international concoction was unlikely, a curious feature in many of history’s most inspiring partnerships. The collective compositions of Godby, Considérant and Bourguignon take elements from across the spectrum of heavy rock music, played loud and hard. They pride themselves on challenging and innovative structures, capturing an atmosphere of intensity. There are few verses and choruses. There are no gimmicks. Castles is a new band with new ideas.

'You, the Organ Grinder,’ was released to widespread critical acclaim across continental Europe and the UK, in February 2012.

I hold secrets, secrets and truths. I am to be probed, clasped and twisted; this test on my fragile frame is futile. One outcome is a certainty - I won’t be here for much longer. Here, in this place, where I have stood and served generation after generation of your thankless people. My tenure has seen all ages come and go. Death and birth, success and failure, love, sin, compassion and hatred have all been housed and protected. I have weathered the storm. I have been faithful. I have been a safe haven, a refuge, and for all my years of experience I can say one thing, unequivocally: when you meet your maker, he shall be far from divine. The wrecking-ball garners momentum, swinging closer and closer to my aged walls. Far from divine.
