TAYNE (tayneband on socials) is a London-based experimental noise rock band.

The band began writing material in early 2017 by founding member Matthew sutton. Sutton grouped in guitarist Tom Hancock to help structure and perform the material and spent most of 2017 playing show around London.

TAYNE's concept originated as a satire on contemporary pop music. With heavier music seeping into the mainstream, TAYNE was formed to try and test the limits of "pop music" ideologies. Heavy, industrial soundscapes serve as a juxtaposition alongside calculated, overproduced sounds and vocals with the classic verse-chorus-verse pop structures.

TAYNE’s music has been described as an aural assault, welding atmospheric vocals, punishing guitars and pulsating electronics to create immersive and intense sounds.

The band released their album BREATHE in 2018, with themes exploring self-doubt and insecurities. Since then,TAYNE have gone on to share the stage with the likes of HEALTH and Acid Mothers Temple.[1][2]
