There are several bands who go by the name of Envoys: 1. A Swedish pop/rock band from the 1960s. They enjoyed success with a number of hits in the Swedish chart, including the excellent Beatles cover 'Almarna at Folket' (Power to the People). 2. ENVOYS are a largely instrumental, heavy rock quartet from Leeds, West Yorkshire, consisting of guitars, bass and drums with occasional flourishes of vocals. The band features former members of Brody and Cotheria and formed in early 2011. ENVOYS can be described as a post-rock/-metal band, but the varied, evolving sound of debut album Violescent suggests this description falls somewhat short. The band’s influences come from many genres of heavy, experimental, and progressive music. ENOVYS’ self-titled first demo, released in November 2011, drew favourable comparisons with Russian Circles, Pelican, Don Caballero and Cult of Luna. The band released their Debut Album, Violescent, on 29th July 2013 after self financing and recording the album between September 2012 - April 2013. A pre sale was a humbling but necessary experience to get the album pressed to Vinyl, and the result has won many admirers. http://sendallyourenvoys.bandcamp.com/ https://twitter.com/envoysband http://www.facebook.com/envoysband
