Like A Storm are an explosive, progressive, melodic rock band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. There they developed a great following - packing out their own shows, supporting high-profile acts on nation-wide tours, winning national competitions and being the first unsigned band to be voted No.1 single on New Zealand's biggest rock radio station.
Although they've only been together a year, Like A Storm are the hybrid of 2 of Auckland's best young rock bands, Fluid and Inertia. Their desire to create something truly special saw the more dedicated members of each band join to form L.A.S. Their hunger to reach a wider audience drove them to pack up and make the pilgrimage back to the continent of Rock n' Roll. Since the 3 brothers are Canadian-born, Canada was the obviously choice for the band's relocation. They are currently holed up in Vancouver rehearsing for their upcoming shows.
L.A.S has a depth of sound seldom seen in modern rock. They draw inspiration from the sound-scapes of Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle, the raw energy of Nirvana and Guns n' Roses, and the tuneful melodies of the Beatles and Green Day. However in an age where emulation and copy-cat bands seem to be the norm, L.A.S are determined to do their own thing.
An L.A.S show is like no other. Where else can you see a band with 3 singers move seamlessly from hard-hitting thrash rock to piano driven ballads, with a range of instrumentation from synths to didgeridoos - all delivered with unseen energy, explosion and entertainment?
Like A Storm are determined to take their sound and show to the world, and Vancouver is only the beginning.
