Laboratory Noise formed in the winter of 2005, band members are based in the cities of Leeds, Bradford and Manchester. Taking influences from psychedelia, shoegaze, electronica and post-rock, they aim to create multi-layered effect driven soundscapes, underpinned by strong melodies.

The band is: Paul McNulty (guitars & vocals), Paul Griffin (guitars), Ben Cleverley (guitars), Adam Watson (synths), Andy Ramsden (drums & vocals), Dom Sheard (bass) & Kerry Ramsay (vocals & percussion).

The video can be found on the debut, 5 track EP ‘Hope is a Waking Dream’, self-released in October 2007 on their Recurring Accident label.

The video has been shown on MTV2.
