SYMPOSIUM WERE A FIVE PIECE BAND FROM WEST LONDON, I SAY WERE AS WITH MANY BANDS INEVETABLY THEY AT SOME TIME SPLIT UP AS HAVE SYMPOSIUM. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM IT WAS BEFORE THEY HAD HIT INTO THE MAINSTREAM WITH THERE GREAT TYPE OF MUSIC, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE A VERY LOYAL FAN BASE WHO STILL KEEP HOPEING ONE DAY THEY WILL PUT EVERYTHING BEHIND THEM AND HAVE ANOTHER GO AT IT. THE BAND SPIT UP IN 1999 DUE TO MUSICAL DIFFERENCES AND ARGUMENTS WITHIN THE BAND AND SO THE ALL WENT THERE OWN WAYS. SYPOSIUM ALWAYS MANAGED TO PLAY TO SELL OUT CROWDS AT THERE GIGS USUALLY THE TICKETS WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD VERY QUICKLY JUST BY WORD OF MOUTH, THEY WERE ALSO TOUTED AS BRITAINS BEST LIVE ACT AS THEY ALWAYS PUT 100% INTO EVERY SHOW AND ON A FEW OCASIONS BAND MEMBERS ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL. SYMPOSIUM BLENDED TOGETHER  ROCK, PUNK AND SKA TO CREAT THERE OWN SOUND. LIKE OTHER BANDS OF THE DAY SYMPOSIUM ON ONE TRAK COULD FIND THEMSELVES ROCKING HARD AND THE NEXT CHURING OUT A QUITE SLOW SONG WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE. ALTHOUGH THEY HAD BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS THEY ONLY MANAGED TO RELEASE 1 AKBUM AND AN EP. THE EP WAS CALLED ON DAY AT A TIME AND THERE DEBUT ALBUM WAS CALLED ON THE OUTSIDE BOTH OF WHICH SHOWED HOW GREAT THEY WEAR WITH THE MUSIC THEY PRODUCED AS EACH TRACK VARIED  THROUGH BOTH THE EP AND ALBUM.
