Symposium are a five-piece group consisting of Ross Cummins, Hagop Tchaparian, Joe Birch, William McGonagle, and Wojtek Godzisz, formed in London in 1994 when they were in their teens. They soon garnered a reputation as a stalwart band of the era at a young age. Their first show after being signed, was at the sold out Wembley Arena in support of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They also went on to support the likes of Metallica, Foo Fighters, No Doubt and Deftones, as well as playing at the Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury, V and Phoenix festivals and the Vans Warped tour in the US. Symposium’s achievements in just six years of being a band read like a 90’s rock‘n’roll-call; supported by the likes of John Peel, Jo Whiley, and Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1, heralded by music mags such as Melody Maker, Kerrang! and NME, and performing on TV shows such as TFI Friday and Top of the Pops. During their appearance on Top of the Pops in 1997 performing ‘Fairweather Friend’ completely live, frontman Ross became the only singer in the show’s history to stage dive, and the band received only the third ever stage invasion from the audience after Nirvana and Oasis. 25 years later, Symposium’s new b-sides and rarities album "Keeping The Secret" will be released on 10th November 2023. Available to pre-order on Limited Edition Red & White Splattered Vinyl & CD.
