Hailing from South-East Queensland, Kalatone are a four-piece band formed out of a mutual respect for meaty riffs, propulsive drums and soaring vocals to bring their own personal sound to progressive rock and metal. Poised to release their debut EP in 2024, they have developed a set of songs ranging from ethereal soundscapes, through banging riffs, to brutal all out aural assaults.
In the modern musical landscape of synthetic sounds and digital manipulation, Kalatone are bringing back the sound of post-grunge rock and progressive metal delivered with honesty and authenticity. They revel in being truthful artists and musicians so you won’t find any amp modelling, auto-tune or sampled sounds here. Kalatone are fronted by highly versatile vocalist Tim Pitchford - a studio session legend with comparisons to Chris Cornell, and rounded out by guitarist Gavin Storkey (Under – NZ) and his three headed amplifier monster, Adrian Russo with a Bass Guitar sound that’s both as melodic as it is devastating and drummer Dave Kemp bringing the propulsive energy to this music.
A band who’s members came of age during the 90’s and individually paid their dues through the early 2000’s with dedication to their craft whilst sharing stages with acts such as Shihad. Now in 2024, Kalatone are delivering a modern rock sound that is authentic, relatable, and undeniably real.
