Bio:
"Flies Are Spies From Hell formed in 2004 and since then have extensively toured the UK sharing stages with the likes of Russian Circles, And So I Watch You From Afar, UpCDownC, Vessels and Maybeshewill. Theirs is a boundary-challenging form of epic and uplifting piano-led post-rock - intricate moments of beauty building up to crashing nerve-shredding climaxes. Expect energy, sweat and passion from their emotionally charged and at times aggressive performances. The band recently signed to Field Records who released the follow-up EP to their 'Red Eyes Unravelling' album in Feb 2012. In April they undertake their most extensive tour yet, including dates in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic and UK."
