The Bites

The Bites were a 3-piece band from Melbourne, Australia. They formed in 2001 and dissolved in late 2005. The songs are the most important thing. They are short, sharp, state their point and then they stop. Rhythm and melody are equally crucial in The Bites. The nucleus of The Bites are Kirsty and Rene. Other members have come and gone since the band started in 2001. Their philosophy is one of maintaining true independence and complete artistic control over all aspects of their music.

Orphans of the sky

Hey all late 2010 update for you all... wow what a fuckin year it has been for us... member changes, international supports and awesome national supports due to line up changes comes style changes.
now blending a more death metal orientated sound to the likes of Job For A Cowboy and The Black Dahlia Murder, we have still got the little element of deathcore in our sound however that is due to the older songs being in our current set
