Circu5

Circu5 [sur-kuh-five] is a British band blending contemporary guitar-driven rock with evocative songwriting and storytelling. The band brings to life the story of ‘Grady’: a character raised as a psychopath in a secret organisation called Circu5.

Founded as a solo project by Steve Tilling, Circu5's self-titled debut album featured performances from musicians including Dave Gregory (XTC). Clockwork Tulpa is Circu5's second album (and first as a full band), featuring Steve Tilling (vocals, guitar), Mark Kilminster (bass, vocals), Lee Moulding (drums, vocals) and Paul New (guitar, vocals).

Underpinning Circu5’s music is the story of a top-secret British experimental research group (Circu5) established in the early 1970s. The group aimed to eradicate psychopathy from society, create a law-abiding society, and harness positive psychopathic traits in experimental subjects to benefit the UK's corporate, political and military ambitions.
