DPRP’s Béla Alabástrom and Mr F travelled to Swindon in April to meet Steve Tilling, delve deep into the dark dystopian vision of CIRCU5. We discussed the evolution of Steve’s music, focusing on the brilliant "Clockwork Tulpa". www.mixcloud.com/DPR... #prog #ProgRock #ProgressiveRock

"Obsession took him to the edge - and almost into a cult." In this DPRP interview, Circu5's Steve Tilling, explains how perfectionism almost derailed him and the band. Hope you enjoy the listen! www.mixcloud.com/DPRP/dprp-po...

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

The debut CIRCU5 album (2017) is now on all music platforms – and still on CD at www.circu5.com). To mark this momentous (ahem) occasion: The Amazing Monstrous Monstrous Grady feat. Dangerous Dave Gregory, Johnny Warman & Lou Dommett Young. Video by Yvonne Wootton & Dan Sollis.

CIRCU5 - the debut album from 2017 - is now available on your music player of choice (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, iTunes etc). Our latest album - Clockwork Tulpa - is available exclusively on CD (see www.circu5.com), and comes with free downloads, streaming and a bonus track.

This scares and saddens me. It's not my thing, but it sounds good in a mass-appeal kind of way. Why bother learning how to play, sing or write music, when you can make a catchy radio-ready song in seconds? Maybe it's time I swapped the plectrums for gardening gloves. youtu.be/eKxNGFjyRv0?...

#NowPlaying Circu5 - Clockwork Tulpa I confess I was woefully ignorant of this band until I saw folks waxing lyrical about the new album here on Bluesky. And they weren't wrong to praise it, because it really is excellent.

“Clockwork Tulpa blurs the lines between progressive and alternative rock, between harder sounds and the brilliantly understated. It is the perfect blend of muscle and melody, of grace and grit... In short, it is big, and it is clever.” bigtakeover.com/recordings/c...
