A Written Apology are a five piece technical metalcore band from Dundee. we take influences from bands such as Heartscarved, Norma Jean, Angels Never Answer, Underoath, Dead Blue Sky, Prayer for Cleansing etc.

We have been around for around 4 months, and have just finished recording our first demo CD, with Robin "Mrlizard" Sutherland. one of the tracks, "Blue Eyes and Burials", is up for download on our HXCMP3 page:

we greatly appreciate any constructive criticism, feedback etc. for anyone interested, the demo is available, free of charge, by e-mailing awrittenapologymusic@hotmail.com, ormyself. in the next month or so we'll be playing in Edinburgh with Narcosis, Ix, and Black, and several dates in and around Dundee. we're looking for out of town shows, so if you have a place for us on a bill at any point we'd be more than happy to fill the gap.

thank you for reading, I look forward to some feedback.

all incredibly good bands (although Findo Gask technically from Fife...). also watch out for the A Forest (described as somewhere between Yo La Tengo and Broadcast), Lipsick! (zany casio madness, an acquired taste some say), Eye (incredible ambient improvised Godspeed! style stuff).

dundee has quite a diverse music scene, plagued with the apathy found in most small cities. for heavier stuff see: Kaddish, the Fall of Boss Koala, Third Born Sun, the Fighting Cougars, Equilibrium. for punk etc, see: Not Your Saviour, Strike at the Source, Crashdown, Spaceman Lance. I don't really have my finger on the punk pulse unfortunately.

thanks for your kind words, we were recorded by Robin Sutherland of Jesus Elephant God and the Fall of Boss Koala, in his house. he did an excellent job, considering he left every 2.56 seconds for a fag break.

we don't have anything upcoming in Aberdeen, but hopefully with a bit more exposure we'll be able to play a few dates. this is a start I suppose. Owen from the Fall of Boss Koala lives in Aberdeen during term, he's talked about getting us on a bill up there. look forward to playing some time in the near future.

the a forest are releasing a single with mts


dont realy like em

they are like a bad savoy grand with poor female vocals

The song on HxCmp3 is a fucking immense song! Really good stuff, i like the fact that the production is clear but pretty raw too, which makes it really good to listen to
Hopefully you lot get a gig up here soon, as i know a few people including myself whod be interested in seeing you live.
