CARMEN

From distorted guitars to sombre strings, acoustic melodies to grinding riffs, lonesome pianos to gigantic choruses and catchy vocal melodies, Carmen create a mix of Melodic Rock that carries from one extreme to another. Since 2004, Carmen have been playing everywhere captivating audiences with this unique blend of hard, emotional rock and gentle, intricate soundscapes filled with both traditional and electronic instruments. But this last year has seen them grow immensely into a juggernaught of passion driven performances..... Now is time to return and get on the train......
