Strobe Axe

When Hard Rock and EDM collide!

Founded by Dan Carson and Reece Spanton (both from Barnsley, South Yorkshire UK) in 2014 at the Barnsley College, the duo have combined the genres of hard rock/heavy metal/instrumental neoclassical metal with EDM and have crafted their own unique sound. 


They have recorded songs and performed at various venues in the Barnsley/Sheffield area. And despite having completely different musical influences, the duo always perform to the highest standard and continue to wow audiences with their unorthodox skills. 


With Dan Carson as the lead guitarist, vocalist, lead songwriter and Reece Spanton as the producer, keyboardist and synthesised percussionist, what these lads lack in numbers, more than make up for with highly complex technical ability and an upbeat hard hitting techno hard rock/heavy metal party atmosphere like no other!!!          

Live at the Mulberry Tavern Sheffield

Dan's: Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, KISS, Jason Becker, Megadeth, Guns 'N' Roses and Extreme.
