}} Modestep are a dubstep and electronic rock duo from London consisting of Josh Friend and Pat Lundy. They were initially a band that formed in 2010, but former members Nick Tsang, Kyle Deek, and Matthew Curtis left in 2014, and Josh’s brother Tony soon followed in 2017. Their debut album Evolution Theory was released on 11 February 2013, including its five singles: "Feel Good", "Sunlight", "To The Stars", "Show Me a Sign" and "Another Day". Modestep's second album, London Road, was released on 25 May 2015, marking the now-trio’s first album featuring Lundy as a member. Between 2017 and March 2019, the now-duo released three singles on record label Monstercat and a few songs and an EP on Disciple Records. HistoryEarly career (2010–2011)Tony had been DJ-ing since 2001 while Josh had been in multiple bands prior to Modestep with the drummer,[1] only forming the band in 2010, along with guitarist Nick Tsang, a former member of Audio.[2] Evolution Theory (2011–2013){{main|Evolution Theory (Modestep album)}}Modestep began work on their debut album during early January 2011, with their debut single "Feel Good" being released in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2011; managing to reach the BBC Radio 1 A Playlist during the weeks prior to release.{{citation needed|date=August 2011}} The single was released as part of a 3-track extended play, including another track entitled "Bite The Hand". On 13 February, the single debuted at number 38 on the UK Singles Chart,[3] also reaching number 5 on the independent releases chart[4] and number 6 on the dance releases chart.[5] The music video of the new version of their single "Sunlight" was released on YouTube on 3 July, passing 1 million views within four days, also making the Radio 1 A-list and debuting at number 16 in the UK charts. "To The Stars" has also made it onto the Radio 1 A-list and was released on 6 November. Their fourth single "Show Me A Sign" made its YouTube debut on 19 March 2012 and was released on 6 May 2012.[6] They were also a support act for Lostprophets Weapons tour in mid-2012 and have been received extremely well by audiences. In July 2012, the fifth single from Evolution Theory, entitled "Another Day", was aired on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Modestep had previously performed this song to open their set when supporting Lostprophets on their spring UK tour. Just before the song was aired, Tony Friend revealed in an interview that Modestep hoped to release their debut album on 3 September 2012. After the album was pushed back to 14 January 2013, it was pushed back yet again to 11 February 2013. Second studio album, departure of Tsang and Curtis and arrival of Deek and Lundy (2013-2017)Modestep have announced via their social pages that they are now in the studio working on new material.[7] On 16 October 2013 they began work on the first track from their then-forthcoming second studio album.[8] In December 2013, the band embarked on the Foot Locker tour in Europe, promoting popular shoe retail store Foot Locker.[9] On 14 January 2014, Tsang and Curtis both left the band to pursue their own careers in the music industry. Despite this the album was still scheduled and a world tour is expected with the two new members, Pat Lundy (ex-drummer of the iconic band Funeral For A Friend) and Kyle Deek (age 22) who joined in the spring of 2014.[10] Starting in mid-2014, Josh and Tony began their recurring appearances in TheSyndicateProject's YouTube series, "Mianite", a series of videos based around the game Minecraft. The band released a new single titled "Snake" for free download in mid-January 2015.[11] On 22 February 2015, they announced the title and track listing for their second studio album, to be released on 25 May 2015. London Road, released through Modestep's own record label Max Records, features collaborations with FuntCase, Teddy Killerz, Culprate, The Partysquad, Trolley Snatcha, Big Narstie, Flowdan, Frisco and more. On 14 May 2015, Modestep announced the release of one new song per day until the full album release. Monstercat, Disciple, and the departure of Tony and Deek (2017–present)Tony Friend left the group in 2017, leaving Josh and Pat to produce music themselves. After a brief hiatus, the duo came back strong with "Living For The Weekend," a song about wanting to get out of work and have fun that released on British record label Never Say Die.[12] On 13 November 2017, Canadian record label Monstercat released the duo’s next single, "Higher".[13] The duo then released two more singles on Monstercat: "Going Nowhere" (with Dion Timmer)[14] and "Summer".[15] On 4 July 2018, British record label Disciple announces that Modestep signed to the label. The duo released "By My Side" alongside Virtual Riot and Barely Alive on Disciple’s fourth compilation in the Disciple Alliance series.[16] A few miscellaneous Disciple releases later, Modestep came back to Monstercat to release "Not IRL" on 14 January 2019.[17] On 27 February 2019, Disciple released Modestep’s debut EP, titled "Echoes."[18] Musical style & influencesModestep have various musical styles and sounds as they have incorporated electronical elements such as dubstep and drum & bass, however they have also incorporated hard rock into their music, thus giving them a unique style. Josh Friend has also incorporated vocals into their music. They have been placed next to bands such as Pendulum and The Prodigy due to their musical style, however they are able to play along with other artists such as The Script, Skrillex, Ed Sheeran and Flux Pavilion.[19] In an interview with Soundsphere Magazine, the members explained that "We’re all massive ‘tech-head’ musicians...". It is explained how each member of the band influences their musical style with different genres of music, also explaining that their unique musical style was unintentional.[20] Members{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}Current
