“First time I’ve heard of these guys and WOW, how good are they? It’s female vocal with a smooth haunting deliver. If you haven’t heard of these guys, or seen them play, put it in your diary for a must, LOVE IT!!! It’s hard to say what it reminds me of, it’s just unique and something you could listen to while you’re laying back thinking about the world. Sometimes a song can capture an emotion, I’m sure If Angels were Architects will capture you.” - Just Bands

Bio
Angels are Architects formed in mid 2004 with the premise of creating music that would help a hurting heart get to sleep at night. The band always look forward to delivering their melodies and their message to anyone anywhere who wants to listen.
Guitarist Phil Whitman and drummer Andrew Mitchell met in primary school and forged a lasting friendship through a mutual love of music. Under the guise of ?The German Happy Club? they duo busked around the streets of Canberra. Their desire to get in out of the cold and play their original music led them to add Andrei Lena on bass and Amber Mitchell on vocals, and they became "The Fallen". The Fallen only ever played a handful of gigs until mid 2005 when they entered the Jim Beam National Campus band comp and, to their very great surprise, took out the ACT State final. The national final turned out to be a little more than their limited outings had prepared them for but they took a lot from the experience and started a solid gigging schedule around Canberra their home town.
2007 saw the band record their debut EP. This turned turned out to be Andrei's final outing with the band as his life was taking him in another direction. The parting was sweet and he still writes for and spends time with the band. Melanie Wundke was then recruited on bass and group changed their name to Angels are Architects. The group has since toured in South-East Asia stopping over to play a series of shows at the Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore. The band has also appeared on MTV, played live to radio and had a whole lot of fun along the way. Angels are Architects find it a constant struggle to pinpoint their genre as all members draw from completely unique tastes. The music has been described as atmospheric rock meets electronica / dance. At gigs they have been compared to artists ranging from Lamb to Muse.
