Artist description NEEDLES is a very musically oriented band. Guitar and Bass driven with very unique aspects. NEEDLES Weaves a heavy tapestry of atmoshpere from the fibres of phrasing, tone, effect and visuals. A band truly living the philosophy: "To thine own self be true". Professionalism in it's highest form, NEEDLES project themselves at once with confidence and structure. Proof positive that something "NEW" still exists...

Artist History Born from a self-induced exile in the foothills of the Appalacian Mountains, the south-eastern coktail known as NEEDLES was formed out of the contempt for the blatant falsity and ludicrosity of mainstream music. Delving within themselves, these four life-long friends and musicians spent over a year in seclusion writing, developing, and sculpting not just a band...but a living, breathing entity. Conceptual and dynamic from the very beginning, the NEEDLES vision has grown and become something quite mystical and sacred.
