| Triangle
Theory BIOGRAPHY Since
their first conception in the warped minds of Aaron
Brake and Harry Clapham in the bowels of Perth college
just before Christmas in 2004, Triangle Theory have
changed a little. Swiftly recruiting a bass player and
drummer in the shape of Tommy Wigman and Brian
Robertson, the band started to put together a few songs
with evening practices in the practice rooms at the
college. One evening while the (still nameless) band had
paused for a moment, two ragged figures burst in,
telling the budding TT in no uncertain words that they
wanted a band to record and that a singer had to be
found in two weeks. Pausing only for a moment to explain
that they where in fact audio students and not escapees
from a mental institute, they left as quickly as they
had first appeared.
This spurred the band into actual action and a poster
was printed on some very brightly coloured paper
demanding a vocalist of almost limitless talent and
exuberance. To this end a young and innocent Bryce
Sutherland gave Aaron a phone call. After asking if they
minded tuning down a little, he said he was playing with
a band in the local pub next week. Harry and Aaron
swiftly agreed to go and investigate the mystery Fifer.
After a rousing set of metal the guitarists were more
than convinced and told Bryce that 'if he wanted the job
he had it already'. The rest, as they say, is history.
Over the next three years a large amount of gigs in
Perth, Fife and Glasgow, as well as the recording of two
demos and their debut, self-titled album (plagued by
every mishap and expense in the book), the band has
honed their heavy-as-a-road train groove and stage
antics to perfection. Brian left after a year with the
band to pursue other endeavours and was replaced by the
mighty Dominic Hardy, a sticksman of such power that he
breaks cymbals with alarming regularity (to say nothing
of his band mates’ eardrums).
Compared to everyone from Down to a 'heavy Led
Zeppelin', they draw from a huge and diverse range of
influences including Rage Against The Machine, Black
Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Sunn O))) and Goatsnake. With the
first album released the band are preparing for gigs and
imminent world domination, to the detriment of all
ducks. Watch this space...
