The Synthetix

So… it’s official.

After years of near‑misses, diary clashes, and “one day we should…”, the stars have finally aligned. We’re all free, we’re all in, and we’re launching a new band.

An 80s band — but not the predictable playlist you’ve heard a thousand times. We’re digging deeper, choosing the tracks we want to play, and building a sound that hits harder than the usual local circuit fare.

Think huge synths, sharp guitar lines, big vocals, and a rhythm section that’s been locked together for most of their musical lives.

So who’s behind it?
