BIO: Travel Mind Syndrome

Travel Mind Syndrome are a five piece alternative/indie rock band.

Their music combines a wide range of elements, thus creating a unique, distinct musical style. The band is known for their energetic and upbeat live performances.

From October 2007 to February 2009 Travel Mind Syndrome were London-based.

Also, Travel Mind Syndrome featured in the BBC 6 Music radio show “BBC Introducing” by Tom Robinson.

Travel Mind Syndrome returned to Athens in 2009 and recorded their first EP titled “East Acton to Saint Friday”. The band has been gigging frequently in clubs, has supported various artists (e.g. the Caesars, Sivert Hoyem) and has participated in many festivals gaining positive reviews. Most reviews rave about their live performances, namely their passionate appearance on stage and their frontman’s vigorous, intense performance.

Their track “Breeze of Light” has been voted “Song of the Month” by influential music site Jumping Fish (www.jumpingfish.gr).
