Indifferent Engine is a post-hardcore punk band from Cambridge, UK, known for their genre-defying sound and visceral live performances

Drawing inspiration from early hardcore, art punk, post- rock, ambient music, pulp science fction and obsolete electronics, the band creates a soundscape that is as eclectic as it is intense.

Originally conceived as a solo project by frontman Adam Paul, Indifferent Engine evolved into a full band in 2019, bringing their unique blend of chaotic energy and experimental sound to stages across the UK. Their performances are a sensory experience, often featuring the largest rig of vintage CRT TVs in the UK live scene, bathing the stage in the soft, eerie glow of static. This visual backdrop, combined with Adam's commanding stage presence -- fuctuating between Mark E. Smith- esque monologues and raw, visceral screams -- creates an emotional atmosphere that is equal parts unsettling andcaptivating.

Musically, Indifferent Engine weaves together haunting ambient synths and samples with the frenetic fervor of post-hardcore, crafting a dynamic presence that feels more like performance art than a traditional rock show. Their sound is a refection of their diverse infuences, merging nervous DIY hardcore with introspective post- metal elements to produce something wholly unique.

After their frst EP, "Canis" (2021) - a raw statement of intent recorded in a derelict farmhouse between the lockdowns of 2020 - comes their frst full length album "Speculative Fiction".
