A2RK

a2RK biography
A UK-oriented combo A2RK were founded as an experimental rock project inspired by a multitude of styles, from bands such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Flower Kings, Rush, Dream Theater.

The founders were Kelvyn MARTIN (guitars, keuboards, voices), Roy NAIDOO (keyboards, guitars), Andy HEGGS (bass, drums, guitars, voices), and Adi BARRETT (drums, guitars, voices).

Their first EP creation "Papillon" has seen the light in November, 2016. Sadly in August 2017, just whilst recording their second EP, the drummer Adi passed away, and their farewell creation for Adi titled "prdctbl:" was released in November 2017. With new members Jack SHAKESPEARE on bass and Alex SANTOS on guitar, they say they feel that the line-up is complete, giving them even more sonic and musical capability and potential. The third EP "Morlich" was out in October 2019.

Jack SHAKESPEARE left shortly after the release of "Morlich" due to college commitments and was replaced on a temporary basis by Richard SPENCER until a permanent bass player was recruited. Mike FLEMING joined the band in February 2020.
