XIII, a metal band from the forgotten region of the Humber, bringing an authentic honesty to an industry that all too often overlooks quality in favour of a quick buck and broken dreams.

Not a band to follow the rage, but not without their influences, "We'll write a gospel album if we feel like it."

Influences of the riff lords such as Metallica, Crowbar, The Haunted, Clutch and Machine Head, and the country gods such as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams have secured XIII gigs around their home country, playing with the new breed of metal giants.

"We write for ourselves, its the only thing we know how to do" states the trio with an upfront tenacity which recalls the bands northern upbringing. "We've played cellars, fields, working men’s pubs and back gardens. “We'll play anywhere, and have done since we first started. We don’t just stare at our feet on stage either."
