Gallows, Sikth Members Form New Group Called Gold Key

(Metal Hammer) Members of Gallows, Sikth, Spy Catcher and Blackhole have teamed up in new band Gold Key and they are streaming their first song, entitled "Mess," online.

The new project consists of Gallows and Krokodil guitarist Laurent Barnard, Sikth and Krokodil bassist James Leach, Blackhole drummer Jack Kenny and Spy Catcher frontman Steve Sears on vocal and guitar duties.

Barnard tells TeamRock: "We're all close friends. We hang out a lot and decided to use some of that time productively by making music. When you know each other this well, you write songs that incorporate your playing styles and before you know it you've got a live set ready to go."

The guitarist also says they've written enough material for a full-length album, and have another track in the pipeline. He adds: "The fact that all of our bands co-exist just means we can explore different styles of music freely. I don't think any of us got into music for fame and money, at the moment we're all creating music that makes happy and that's more than enough for now." Read more and stream the song here.
