Editor's review
Prog-rock's sense of heroic poetry meets post-rock's love of shuffy, looping guitars in the Leeds quintet's work. The results should bring together two generations of audiophiles, who can all sit near each other, buried in $300 headphones, scowling contentedly.
Biography
iLiKETRAiNS is a 5-piece from Leeds consisting of Dave Martin (guitar and vocals), Guy Bannister (guitar, rhodes and synths), Alistair Bowls (bass), Ashley Dean (cornet and visuals), and Simon Fogal (drums).
Their sound is an amalgam of carefully structured, majestic melodies and huge instrumental patterns, set to a narrative of past historical figures. Though history may seem an unlikely 'rock' topic, iLiKETRAiNS succeed thoroughly in bringing past into present via incredible, rousing tales of courage and failure set against beautiful, often monstrous musical pieces.
