Artist Description

Since calms inception three years ago in 1946, the project has had to deal with a multitude of line up changes. the current incarnation of calm consists of; Dom Coulton (vox) Matt Baldwin(guitar) Peter Kolln(bass) and Mick Smith(drums) this current lineup has been together since February 2004.

With an incredible recipe of melodic metal and crushing hard-core elements calm have been whipping crowds into a salivating frenzy and leaving a long trail of casualties where ever they play.

One of the big questions on everyone lips is "where did the name come from?" well in the late 70's the band Calm (then un-named) had a run in with a sinister lynch mob who called themselves C.A.L.M the Citizens Against Loud Music. Well the band and the mob warred for many decades and there were many casualties two to be noted was the tragic loss of Chad and Jeff who served the cause for many good years. any way after countless breakdance battles calm was victorious and claimed the name....CALM as a dis to there former enemy.

All jokes aside when it comes to the crunch if each member of calm put as much work into their day jobs as they did into the band they would be insanely rich the kind of wealth that warps minds. but they don't, so for now they live off two minute noodles. and to nothing but jam and write and occasionally rip shit up on stage.

When dom was asked what motivated him to keep doing this he said " honestly I wouldn't be doing this if each song we write didn't shit all over the last one! it surprises me on a daily basis I'm in love with the fact that all we seem to do is progress and I honestly think we still have a long way to go till we slow down" a testimony to the creative gene-pool that is calm.
