Hailing from North Somerset, UK, Blueneck formed in the early part of 2000 as a four piece. Founder members Duncan Attwood, Ben Paget, Johnny Horswell and Ben Green proceeded to forge their career on the West Country’s thriving live circuit. They soon added a fifth member, Michael Maidment to enable a fuller live sound and have since played with such acts as Aereogramme, Crashland, Cult of Luna, iLIKETRAiNS and Thirteen Senses.

Steering away from conventional songwriting, Blueneck’s music has developed into a cinematic soundscape of ambient atmospherics, dark skeletal rhythms, haunting vocals and swirling crescendos, all created with analogue synths, sparse piano and huge, soaring guitars - the band have a distinct subtlety and craft about their music that forces the listener to engage and immerse oneself into their world.

Blueneck self-released their first full length album in 2006, entitled Scars of the Midwest after having spent a year and a half locked away recording in the hills of deepest Somerset, having delivered a dark, dynamic masterpiece which puts the band truly in a class of their own. Operating in a similar 'post-rock' territory to that of Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Sigur Ros and Mogwai with a nod in the direction of Radiohead’s Kid A/Amnesiac period, Blueneck are now captivating audiences with their enigmatic live performance and building a growing army of support Europe-wide.
