Circu5

Circu5 make edgy progressive rock for a twisted dystopian world.

Described by Prog magazine as “hip-shaking rock and winding prog, packed to the brim with earworms,” Circu5 (pronounced sur-kuh-five) craft twisting, hook-filled songs around the story of Grady: a man engineered to become a high-functioning psychopath.

The band's self-titled 2017 debut featured a guest appearance from XTC's Dave Gregory. Its follow-up, Clockwork Tulpa (2025), was described by The Big Takeover as “the perfect blend of muscle and melody, of grace and grit.”

Circu5 are Steve Tilling (vocals, guitar), Mark Kilminster (bass, vocals), Lee Moulding (drums, vocals) and Paul New (guitar, vocals).
