Audio Asylum demo review courtesy of Vicky Parsons @ Top Hat Magazine - 4/5
Audio Asylum - 'Demo' -
Audio Asylum’s demo is the perfect demonstration of some of the hidden talent the UK has to offer. Hailing from Liverpool, Audio Asylum really set the boundary for up and coming alternative rock bands.

‘Into the Fire’ has one of the catchiest riffs you could imagine, and the non-stop drumming keeps the song alive, upbeat and, ultimately, fun.
‘Autonomy’ allows for some heavier guitar playing, and the bridge in particular reminds me of something an early Radiohead would have written. It’s one of those songs that makes you tap your foot, hand, pen, whichever you prefer, and is a perfect example to show this band knows exactly what they’re doing. ‘Pressure’ is the final song on the demo.
The vocals sound more progressive, but the instrumentation keeps the traditional rock alive, with a more recent twist.
It’s usually difficult to predict how successful a band could be when you’ve only heard three songs, but there’s no doubt that this band are talented.
It’s difficult to compare them to any other bands, because they show such individualism and originality. Overall, this is a very impressive demo and it’s definitely left me wanting to hear more.
For Fans of – Radiohead, Bombay Bicycle Club.
Track to download – ‘Pressure’.
