Biography

CAUSTIC WAVES - melodic alt-rock/post-hardcore with a pinch of late-90s nostalgia. Software Engineer by day, music producer by night... once the kids are asleep. Neil Thomas is a busy father of two, with a lifelong passion for music that has culminated in his latest project, CAUSTIC WAVES. Along with bands like Soul Blind and Narrow Head CAUSTIC WAVES is part of the growing revival of 90s/00s alternative rock, post-hardcore and post-grunge. Taking influences from bands of that era such as Incubus, Far, Deftones and Helmet, in many ways it's a return to Neil’s formative teenage years. Unlike his teenage self, Neil now has the musical experience and confidence to pull it off. After cutting his teeth as guitarist in alt-metal band KEITEL in the mid-2000s, Neil switched to bass and backing vocals as part of the harmony-driven power-pop band, THE CHINASKIS. With CAUSTIC WAVES, Neil takes elements from both of these bands - thick crunchy rhythm guitars, driving bass, and hook-laden lead vocals backed by layers of harmonies. The 6-track EP 'FULL CIRCLE' was released on 3rd March 2023. Recording for the EP began back in April 2020, and over an 18 month period Neil produced, engineered and mixed the songs at his home studio in Glasgow, Scotland. After mixing, it was given a final polish by mastering engineer Andrea Gobbi at Carrier Waves Mastering. www.causticwaves.com
