This Is Squarewave
From being the young band playing at their schools annual school music festivals to being the headline in their album release concert, performing to around 150 people. Squarewave consisting of Harry Vincent, the lead singer of the band who has had stints with a solo musical career and other bands in his earlier years. Charlie James, a universal musician who can play multiple instruments including the piano and the base guitar, truly an all-rounder in the musical world. And finally Oliver Credland, The drummer, the creator of the loud intense sound with his unorthodox drumming technique.
These musicians have been together for a long time as they can remember. Going back to the days where they were running around their playground in primary school. Whilst growing up, Squarewave and their musical talents grow as they took lessons to improve their skills. This all accumulating to them creating their band with their other friend Jack Tricklebank, under the name Lost Control. This fairly new band performed together at their school music festival in front of around 60 people at just 12 years old! These brave musicians had started their musical journey by getting an overall positive reception form their school debut. That year they created their own EP called ‘All The Wrong Reasons’ This was sold for £2.50 which they sold at their own school. The early Squarewave under a new name starting their musical journey. With this they performed in more local festivals infront of many people, this young band were dedicated to pursue their dream. After band member changes and one more EP Lost Control had blew out and adapted and changed to get rid of their school persona. This smart decision started the bands local band status.
Squarewave was there name and the members went down to 3 members, this trio wanted to reinvent themselves as a Sheffield indie band and not someone’s school show. On the 28th of January 2018 a whole 4 years after Lost Control created their first EP, Squarewave released their 3 song EP simply called ‘Squarewave EP’ this introduction to the band showed the listener who Lost Control are now and how they have grown up, This EP was a personal EP as it reformed the members and explained personal events creating a personal feeling which was released on multiple forms of media including ITunes and Spotify. During this time, they had to deal with important exams at school they performed and minor venues around Sheffield being fill in acts. This was nothing to what was going to come for Squarewave.
In later 2018 around September, Squarewave had something planned which would transform the band into real uprising local talent. On the 17th November 2018 Squarewave released their debut studio album ‘Keep Your Legs Straight When You Hit The Water’
When asked by ALT about the quality of the album, the band stated that “the album is on a whole other level to our debut EP, as the content has increased also the quality aswell. As we have been able to work with better and more equipment. To produce the best sound!” This followed by the question of the type of equipment they use. The band replied “we use various software's to enhance our sounds but the one we use most often is Ableton. Ableton lets us create the sound we love. This followed on to more insight of the band intentions on the heights the band believe they can go to. “we wanna go to major arenas maybe locally, like the MotorPoint arena. That would be a highlight to perform to thousands of people.
With this album coming out in late 2018 then there will be more gigs and more albums in 2019, their next gig being at their main location at Café Totem in town. Hopefully in the summer of 2019. We cannot wait
