Bio
Formed in May 2008, The 3am Context features current and ex members of Essex bands “The Nurse Who Loved Me”, “Get Girl, Save The World!” & “Deferred Success”, the band had several jam sessions throughout the summer, bouncing ideas around before finding what has become their distinct sound.
Piecing together big guitar riffs blended with lush effects, driving bass fuzz and pounding drums, the guys started to create what would become their debut EP. Deciding to add synth, samples and an electronic kit to the mix has expanded the band’s constantly developing sound and is starting to win them over many fans.
Currently, the guys are promoting their debut EP, titled ‘Buildings Burn’, which has already earned airplay on XFM, BBC Radio Essex as well as some smaller local stations. Currently starting to fill up 2009 with plenty of gigs, The 3am Context are also starting work on their debut album, which is pencilled in for a Summer 2009 release through Big Meat Records.
Their influences include The Foo Fighters, The Doves, Muse, Autolux, Portishead and many others which is why they have such a distinct sound, going from all-out rock to creating epic soundscapes all in one song.
