About
Contrasts are an alternative metal band formed in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The band combines hard hitting, low tuned riffs with ambient electronics and soaring vocal melodies. From 2 022 to 2024 the band committed to a collection of standalone singles and live performances encompassing their ethos of high energy and engaging song dynamics. Contrasts released their debut EP 'False Idol', recorded at Long Wave Studios (Bring Me The Horizon, Holding Absence, Nova Twins) on January 30th 2026 to overwhelmingly positive reception. Driven by a refreshed lineup, False Idol showcases a more focused, technical sound for the band. The lead single 'Ghost In My Head' is the epitome of the bands new sound and message, based around crushing guitar riffs, anthemic vocal melodies and dark lyrical content about childhood trauma and mental health struggles. With members of the band having shared bills with the likes of Whitechapel, Black Tongue, Funeral For A Friend, Skyharbor and Hawthorne Heights in various earlier projects, Contrasts are using their shared knowledge of the space to make their own statement in the live music sphere. Keiron Sheppard - Vocals James Hardiman - Bass/Vocals Michael Thomas - Guitar/Vocals Kurt Roberts - Guitar Ethan Simons - Drums
