About MODERN FIGHTING VEHICLES

We chase our dreams, we live for music. Our story is bigger than Big rhythms, punchy guitars and soulful pop vocals. BIOGRAPHY: We are a four piece Indie Rock band based in Brighton. Our music is soulful, with big beats and infectious pop hooks. We’ve worked hard for a tight live sound with a massive rhythm section, punchy guitars and soaring vocal harmonies. We have made the choice to chase our dreams by leaving university, moving away from our friends and families and spending every waking hour writing, preparing and pushing. We live for music. We will make big things happen and if you want to get scheming, get in touch. We formed in 2005 and since then we have been frenetic enough to play over 400 shows, The Great Escape, a number of fringe festivals and events from Plymouth to Edinburgh. We are a BBC introducing band and to date we have released two E.ps, one in the UK and one in Western Europe. We took a year out to write and experiment, setting up an independent label and working with as many good people as we could find. Now we are back with our first single due for digital release in January. We have written a set of new material and have revisited some old work with a fresh perspective. We are currently writing for our debut album which we intend to record as soon as possible. We would like to thank you for the love and interest that has allowed us to get this far. Keep it coming. x x x x OUR MUSIC: In 2007 we released our first E.p ROBOT which led us from playing pubs in and around our hometown to playing fringe festivals and venues. In 2008 we released NEON off the Jamendo platform and were asked to play The Great Escape. Now after spending a year in Plymouth writing and networking we moved to Brighton and intend to release our first single in January off our own label. If you want us playing in your town, get in touch and we’ll do what we can to make it happen. If you want to download our Neon E.p. for free follow the link below:
