Perceptions are a five-piece melodic metalcore band from Newcastle upon Tyne. Taking inspiration from a broad range of bands, they combine catchy choruses with heavy breakdowns and emotional verses brilliantly that remain stuck in your head for months. Following shows with local heavyweights October Ends and national giants TheCityIsOurs plus a headline gig at the O2 Academy in September, the hype surrounding them is shaking the local scene.
