AUDIO Disease are a young band from Dudley who have already an established name on the Black Country scene.

Their debut EP, Contagion, was released earlier this year and the band has been busy gigging to show they can deliver the goods live as well.

The band, which consists of Tom Harris (vocals), Dan Bremner (lead guitar and backing vocals), Scoob Davies (drums), Josh Warby (rhythm guitar) and Luke Bradley (bass), recorded Contagion at producer Dan Lancaster's Glass Eye Studios.

The second single to be taken from the EP is called Breakaway and the Audio Disease say the track is already proving to be a favourite at their gigs.

They describe their sound as a pop/rock crossover inspired by artists including Bon Jovi, Maroon 5, Guns n Roses and Avenged Sevenfold.

Audio Disease are set for two shows in Birmingham, firstly at The Flapper on Saturday August 31 followed by a return to the second city on Saturday September 7 at the O2 Academy 3.
