Formed early in 2012 Daniel was jamming with his good friend Clint Jones (Drums) and began writting songs. Soon it was clear that they needed a bass player and the third and final member Adrian Wood was the clear choice, also a long time friend of the two. Cicada was formed. With a passion for the same music and a desire to be a stand out live band they play a genre of music many thought was dead, grunge with influences from many of the great rock bands. Heavily influenced by the movement in Seattle and described as a cross between Nirvana and Silverchair's early work the boys are hungry for success. In January 2013 Cicada released their debut EP, including the 4 tracks: 

1. Break the Bend
2. Warped
3. Down
4. Negative Incline

With a heavy focus on live shows they recently played the Emergenza festival at the Metro to a packed out venue and won getting through to the semi finals at the Factory Theatre in October. Watch out for these guys they will be playing plenty of live venue's in Sydney and Newcastle.
