Who are you?
We are Syncolima, We play Stoner rock fused with everything from Grunge to Prog to Metal, its big riffs, big choruses and grooooove.
Roll Call?
We consist of Guitarist/ Singer – Joshua Morgan, Bass player extraordinaire – Stoff and Drummist – Harry Redfern
Hailing from?
The Arse end of Derbyshire
Journey so far?
4 years, 3 albums 2 drummers in, not quite Spinal Tap though. Formed at the back end of lockdown, we came together to play music we want to write and perform together.
Influences/sound?
Orange Goblin Meets Nirvana, Incubus meets Black Sabbath. Riffs to bang your head to, Choruses to sing along to and unexpected massive bass lines.
We’re influenced by the usual Stoner Rock and Grunge Elite, but we branch out individually on many different sounds, Josh thenSinger is into a lot of old school Metal like Megadeth as well as Pop Punk classics like Nofx, Stoff the bassist, listens to anything with a good riff and bass line, from Elder to Goat, to Vulfpeck and back to Alice in Chains, Harry as a drummer is hard to pin down, you’ll find him at the weekends in charity shops buying Waylon Jennings CD’s.
Biggest gig/proudest moment to date?
Our first year of gigging was also the first full year back after all the covid restrictions, we’ve played some cool festivals and made it to the Jagermeister Stage, that was pretty cool. Aside from the obvious big gigs, it’s the unknown weird stuff that usually turns out to be unexpectedly amazing.
What does the future hold for SYNCOLIMA?
We’ve just released our 3rd album “Move Mountains” and are about to kick off a run of dates around the UK in November, Next year to hope to get on some good slots and places we’ve yet to play, we’re constantly writing so another new album won’t be far off either!
