Nature of Wires is IT consultant Gary Watts and armourer Andrew Stirling-Brown, both from Hereford, while Maren Northway is a former opera singer from Fullerton, California, with one of the most distinctive voices in the business.

For the past year, or so, they've been writing music together over the internet!

The band actually dates back to the '80s with dark new wave sounds reminiscent of acts such as Gary Numan, Pet Shop Boys, Shamen, Cyferdyne, Combichrist, Aesthetic Perfection and Kraftwerk.

However, they've spent this last decade playing in rock bands!

"Think Pet Shop Boys meets Depeche Mode. A quality show, reminiscent of '80s synth-pop." - Andrew Marston
