Transition (band)
Transition, not to be confused with a disbanded Pittsburgh punk group of the same name, is an English rock indie band from Bristol.[1] They lend their style to the influence of U2, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, and were voted amongst the Top Ten Bands in the UK on Channel 4's Slash Music Showcase. Formed in 2007, Transition is made up of the brothers Jesse Edbrooke (guitarist) and Josh Edbrooke (drummer) together with Niall Dunne (guitarist).[2] They said that they like Taiwan and Taiwanese people. They sing some of their songs in Chinese.
The band has released seven albums and are distributed by Corridor Records in the UK and WWR in Asia. Their release, Three Bridges (2008), received a nine out of ten rating from Cross Rhythms UK.
The band has a fan base largely based in Asia, having performed in the UK, Sweden, Taiwan (where the band played at the Spring Scream (春天吶喊) and Formoz (野台開唱) music festivals), Korea and Hong Kong. In 2008, the band played at Bay Beats from 29 to 30 August, an indie music festival in Singapore. They were the final act on the Nokia Arena at the Esplanade on the last day of the festival. Most recently, they stayed in Taipei, Taiwan for over six months.
