VI.BE

Influenced by the life that passes them by, the constant change in their adolescent lives and the music that shaped their combined passion; More Than Meets The Eye is a hardworking melodic hardcore band. Formed in 2008 and playing their first ‘try-out’-show for over 150 attendees these five friends quickly gained the reputation of being a must-see live-band to experience the power they radiate, the effort they put into their music and the unique sound they try to share with the world.

Mainly focusing on a clean and heavy ‘hardcore’ sound, they presume to add new elements taken from a wide range of influences, More Than Meets The Eye stands for strong and deep lyrics sung with a powerful voice on top of heartfelt melodies and catchy rhythmic parts added up with pumping bass lines following the leads of tight and heavy drumming. Combining the ‘straight-forward’ hardcore of Terror with the bitterness of Betrayal, the brutality of American Me and the passion of The Ghost Inside is what helped them create a wide and ever growing fan base.

While the future is still wide open, More Than Meets The Eye have had the opportunity to play with some well-known national and international bands in the past, including, Dog Eat Dog (USA) Texas In July (USA), Shadows Chasing Ghosts (UK), CDC (USA), While She Sleeps (UK), Novel Of Sin (IT), As Enemies Arise (NL) and Poison My Blood. They’ve recorded a 5-song EP (This Ship Isn’t Built To Sink); Played a live-set on Urgent.FM; Been featured in UP Magazine (NL, “upcoming” section); Won a couple of contests and played numerous live shows across their country.
