Geometrics are an English five piece indie rock band from Hertfordshire, England.

History

Previously called 'The Art Of Opposition' until they re-formed with new members, complete new material and a new name (Geometrics). Formed as Geometrics in November 2008 with new members Aidan Ward & Lindsay Banks (formally of 'The Homewreckers Club').

Currently unsigned, the band were popular around their hometown of Hitchin in Hertfordshire. They have also played several gigs around the country including some notable performances such as headlining the Camden Barfly and playing festivals such as CazFest Bishop Stortford and LeeFest in Suffolk.

On 4 April 2009, Geometrics released their first official single "Sixth Sense". The single has been well received and has earned them airtime on Huw Stevens & Steve Lamacq - BBC Radio One show, and also making regular appearances with BBC Introducing and XFM. On 29 May 2009, Geometrics were invited into the BBC Three Counties Studios to perform three live songs and take part in an interview and a regular feature on the show "Band on a Bike".

In January 2010, Geometrics recorded two new songs yet to be released, and their new single "Blind Silhouettes".

Due to university constraints of some members and different creative differences, Luke Travers has decided to leave Geometrics for "fresher pastures", whilst considered his time with Geometrics "fun, but a complete waste of my time"[1]

Critical reception

AudioTart's Peter Coulston described the Geometrics as being "An overall competent band who do what they do well"[2]
