Rolo Tomassi formed in small villages north of Sheffield around the start of 2005. Almost immediately recording a demo of the only material they had, the band set out with the aim of playing as many shows in as many different cities as possible around a schedule of high school and exams.   A series of split 7”s, tapes and self-released music on any other format imaginable, the band put out its first landmark EP on the UK label Holy Roar in 2006. A relentless touring schedule followed and this momentum saw a deal struck with Hassle Records to release the band’s debut album Hysterics in 2008. Recorded with a modest budget with producer Jason Sanderson (65daysofstatic, Brontide), this album would push the band out to the mainstream press with the full length receiving positive across the board.   After a performance at SXSW early in 2009, an unlikely partnership was struck with producer Diplo (Major Lazer, MIA, Die Antwoord) who came to a late night showcase. The band wrote the record Cosmology over the summer of 2009 and flew out to LA to record with Diplo and engineer Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Usher) later that year. The record was released in May 2010, again on Hassle Records, to critical acclaim with Rock Sound scoring it a 9 out of 10 and describing it as ‘"the sound of a band at the top of their game". Support slots on huge tours with Biffy Clyro and Enter Shikari followed as well as the bands first appearance in Australia at Soundwave Festival, second stage appearances at Leeds and Reading Festival’s and a slot on the second stage at Download.   2011 saw the release of Eternal Youth, a 36-track anthology of non-album material on the bands own Destination Moon Records and vocalist Eva Spence gracing the cover of Kerrang magazine as part of their ’50 Greatest Rock Stars In The World Today!’ feature. After a UK headline tour including a sold out show at The Garage in London, the band embarked on a two-week tour of Russia and the Ukraine, which ultimately followed with the departure of two members for ‘personal reasons’. The band immediately resumed normal service with Chris Cayford and Nathan Fairweather joining to fill the vacant positions of guitar and bass respectively.    Over the first few months of 2012 the band set to work on third studio album Astraea. With the band now based primarily in Nottingham, the album was recorded in various locations around the city (including keyboard player James Spence’s house) with Jason Sanderson taking the helm at production again. The record was put out on Destination Moon in November 2012 with NME describing the band as “one of the most adventurous, forward-thinking and inexplicably overlooked bands in the country” alongside a very favorable 8 out of 10 review.   Following UK and European headline tours in support of Astraea, the band would make their debut appearance in Japan in September 2013 as part the Zankyo Festival in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya having released Astraea through the Zankyo label. Those shows led into the bands first Australian headline tour which would last for 3 weeks and wrap up the Astraea touring cycle. Upon returning from this the band parted ways with drummer and founder member Ed Dutton under amicable circumstances.   Almost straight after returning, the band got to work on their fourth record, recruiting Tom Pitts to play drums. 2014 was a relatively dormant year for the band with various members relocating and writing being the primary focus.  A handful of intimate shows took place in October to road-test new material ahead of the band going into the studio with Lewis Johns (Gnarwolves, Funeral For A Friend) to begin work on Grievances. The album will be released through Holy Roar Records (UK/EU), Ipecac Recordings (North America/Japan) and Shock Records (Australia/NZ) in summer 2015.   At 10 years in, the band are arguably at the most exciting place yet with eyes firmly set on the next 10 years and beyond.   Current personnel:  Chris Cayford – Guitar Nathan Fairweather – Bass Tom Pitts – Drums Eva Spence – Vocals James Spence – Keys/Vocals   Toured with: Architects Biffy Clyro Blood Red Shoes The Bronx Comeback Kid The Dillinger Escape Plan Enter Shikari Foals Fucked Up Glassjaw Horse The Band Janes Addiction Trash Talk   Notable Festival Appearances: Reading and Leeds  Download Sonisphere SXSW (U.S) Soundwave (Australia) Zankyo (Japan) Rock The Beach (Finland) Copenhell (Denmark) Novarock (Austria) Dour (Belgium) Airwaves (Iceland) Eurockeenes (France) Lowlands (Netherlands) Pukkelpop (Belgium) Slotsfjell (Norway)

Started off at the beginning of 2008 as a deathmetalband. After the band had some line up changes and bandname changes, the music started to develop more into a technical way of writing progressive (death) metal. While writing songs and playing shows, the band developped into a mathcore/progressive/grind/experimental metalband.   In the summer of 2010, zygoma recorded a first demo/EP called 'FLESH.MADE.VOID' which was self-released. After the release, a short tour including Belgian/UK gigs was ready to go. 2 months of rest followed after the tour because of another line-up change.   A comeback was made at the beginning of 2011 with a new guitarplayer, Joachim. Zygoma started playing lots of shows again spread over Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Czech Republic, United Kingdom and Holland. The Ro(c)koko tour 2011, a tour of 9 days which the band booked themselves, included 3 headline shows and was the band's first real tour experience and set the start of many more to come. In March/April '12, zygoma did a 17 day, DIY booked european tour and went to Holland, Czech Rep, Hungary, Slovakia, Luxembourg and the UK. After this tour, the band decided to go on without guitarist Wez & brought in Kenzo. Late October 2012, Joachim decided to leave the band.   When 2012 came to an end, a small label called ‘The Front Agency’ signed zygoma to release ‘The Forgotten’. Together with the support of ‘Total Deathcore’, they released ‘The Forgotten’ on 22 January 2013. An official releaseshow was played on 9 March in Lokeren (BE) and the band started writing again after this. The rest of 2013 wasn’t that busy but the band had the opportunity to share the stage with bands such as Rolo Tomassi, Heart Of A Coward and Betraying The Martyrs. 2013 concluded with a supportslot on WFAHM’s Belgian goodbye show.    The first thing the band did in 2014 was an Eastern Europe tour that brought it to new places such as Poland, Romania and Ukraine. The tour was a success and definitely gained the band some new fans around Eastern Europe. In March ’14, TZD entered the studio to record a new single which was released December 1st, 2014. In September TZD embarked on a short run in Southern Europe which brought the band to new places as Italy.    The year 2015 started off with another 11 day tour around the UK and Ireland. The band flew to the Irish islands to play the debut Irish concerts. After successfully finishing that tour, main priority was to get the new album written. The recordings of the follow-up for ‘The Forgotten’ began late May ’15.    Shared stage with: Salt The Wound, Rolo Tomassi, War From A Harlots Mouth, Maroon, Truth & Its Burden, Stigma, Betraying The Martyrs, The Algorithm, Crimson Falls, A Plea For Purging, Arsonists Get All The Girls, Six Reasons To Kill, Glasses., Cold Night For Alligators, Martyr Defiled, ShowYourTeeth, Disposed To Mirth, As They Burn, Dead Harts, This Is Colour, Brutality Will Prevail, Heights, Apostate, Fuck The Facts, Hour Of Penance, Heart Of A Coward, Psychofagist, ...

The sky is not the limit it's a lie!  So says the Jazz influenced mathcoreband Mary Fields. Disarray and madness combined with sheer musicality and the boldness to cross lines is what Mary Fields is percieved as. On Stage Mary Fields is a band with a reputation, bringing you maniacal vocals, smooth and/or upbeat jazz rythms, and enough dissonance to make Mother Theresa go batshit-crazy.   Dissonance a-plenty,  Mary Fields
