Hailing from the London satellite town of Watford, Lower than Atlantis were formed in 2007 by Mike Duce and Ben Sansom, whose shared love of bands such as Biffy Clyro, NOFX, and blink-182 would go on to inspire the group's early sound. At the end of 2008 the band released their debut EP, Bretton. Clocking in at under 20 minutes, the breakneck, melodic, hardcore punk sound of the EP would signal the direction of their 2010 debut album, Far Q. With the addition of full-time members Eddy Thrower and Declan Hart, the band returned to the studio to record its sophomore release, 2011's World Record. Signing to Island Records at the beginning of 2012, the band released its third album, Changing Tune. ~ Richard Wilson
