FAULT: What is your sounds like?

Aza:We really don’t aspire to sound like anyone in particular but we are hugely influenced by prog music, stuff like King Crimson and French group Magma but also love post punk stuff like Wire, Magazine, Gang Of Four, PIL etc as well as Devo, James Chance et al. Also pretty much anything Steve Albini has ever played on, Deerhoof, HEALTH…loads. This makes us sound like we are quite a guitar/drums heavy band which we are live certainly but we would like to show a more ambient side of ourselves too, something we are beginning to work on.
