IO Earth is a groundbreaking British Symphonic Progressive band created by Dave Cureton and Adam Gough, who pride themselves in their ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating their own signature sound. Whether the song you're listening to is Hard Rock with Symphonic Strings, Ambient Trace with Horn solos or an emotive power ballad with Quartet breaks, you always know when you're listening to IO Earth.
Often compared to movie scores in its ability to evoke emotion, the IO Earth sound holds something for everyone. It seems impossible to list all of the genres on which they have touched in their ten year history, over 7 studio albums ... but they include Rock, Jazz, Opera, Electronic, Symphonic, Trance, Dance, Metal, Nu-Metal, Folk ... the list goes on.
IO Earth's albums produce dense, layered soundscapes, and you'd be forgiven to think that they cannot be reproduced live. But you'd be wrong! IO Earth's live shows are breathtaking. The music is effortlessly reproduced by a five piece band of multi-instrumentalists.
IO Earth are becoming veterans of the Progressive Music industry, having racked up nominations and awards in a variety of categories over their 10 year career. These have included "Best Debut", "Best Production", "People's Choice", "Best Guitarist" and "Best Vocalist" from a number of publications, including Prog Magazine and Classic Rock Society.
