Storm Engine are a UK South-Eastern four piece who formed in 2008 after guitarist Wayne Brummer and bassist George Baldwin met on the set of an erotic Swedish film written by drummer Tim Pears and being directed by singer Ryan Barker. All of them had arrived that day by mistake (Tim was under the impression he’d written a cyber-thriller) and so Storm Engine was formed as a way of dealing with their collective shame and embarrassment. 

Fast forward 7 years and Storm Engine are still going strong, bringing a melodic melange of funk and rock to the masses. All writers, their varied influences merge to create a unique and infectious sound formed from harmonious melodies, big riffs, funky bass and driving beats. At the heart of it all though, Storm Engine just want to have fun.
