Metalcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK, formed in 2004.
The style of their early work, including their debut album "Count Your Blessings", has been described as deathcore, but the band started to adopt a more eclectic style of metalcore on subsequent albums. Their 2015 album "That's The Spirit" marked a shift in their sound to less aggressive rock music styles, including electronic rock and nu metal. This was a conscious decision made by the band in a boost change their direction and appeal.
Lineup:
Oliver "Oli" Sykes - vocals (2004-present)
Matt "Vegan" Keen - bass (2004-present)
Matt Nicholls - drums (2004-present)
Lee Mahlia - guitar (2004 -present)
Jordan Fish - keyboards, drum pad, percussion, backing vocals (2012-present)
Former members:
Curtis Ward - rhythm guitar (2004-2009)
Jona Weinhofen - rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2009-2013)

January 17, 2022I would like to know if anyone can give me more information about this first version of this EP (This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For).
According to what I have been investigating, before the "first version" of TDON Records, there was another one with a different art, it must have been something very limited and maybe a kind of self-released Demo of the EP. Where there is only something clear about it, is on Wikipedia, where it says the following:
<<The EP initially had its work being done with this song being two separate songs wherein the EP would be a five-track release that would include the songs: "Who Wants Flowers When You're Dead? Nobody.", "Dagger", "Passe Compose", "Traitors Never Play Hangman" and "We Are All Movie Stars".[6] The artwork was different as well, with the cover featuring the band's logo with a sparrow in the corner of the cover standing about a bottle of leaking love hearts.>>
I add some links, with the only photos I could find on Google:
• Front cover: https://images.genius.com/712c11f00dc626dd00a36418f99827b9.400x300x1.jpg
• Back cover: https://images.genius.com/b54ff0cd79677361e5f37116377fbf71.400x300x1.jpg
• Lyrics: https://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s229/nail_the_casket/Micellaneous/origart2.jpg
Also added a live video of the song "Passe Compose": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojf6736Nb0E (but I´m not sure, because the quality is bad and there is controversy in the comments of the video).
This version is not on Discogs and I haven't been able to find any more information. I would like to know if anyone has more information about it, or if anyone has this version in their collection, or if anyone has better photos. Maybe it's just a few limited CDs (according to the comment on the previous youtube video only 80 copies), who knows... I hope I can get more information about it.
Please comment or DM. Thanks a lot!
