Landscapes was a British melodic hardcore band based in Somerset, England. Formed in 2009, the band released one EP and two albums. They played at Hevy Music Festival and toured throughout Europe several times.

History

Previously named Counting Days, Landscapes was formed in Somerset in late 2009 by Shaun Milton (vocals), Martin Hutton (guitar), Kai Sheldon (previously drums, later guitar), Nick Willcox (bass guitar), and Joe Cornish (guitar).[citation needed]

Landscapes formed as a collective of friends looking to write and perform an alternative form of modern hardcore punk, originating in the United Kingdom. Originally named Counting Days, they later changed their name whilst writing their first EP, Reminiscence, and took on Landscapes from the lyrics of their song "Take Me Home"—written and dedicated to Shaun's grandmother, Belinda Hanham.[citation needed]

They released the EP Reminiscence via Broken Night Records in May 2010. In July 2012, the band published their debut album, Life Gone Wrong, originally on City of Gold Records. The first pressing sold out and in September 2013, the album was re-released after the band signed to Pure Noise Records, based in San Francisco, which released the record worldwide.[3][4]

The band played at

Frankfurt, and Göttingen.[9]

Landscapes supported the Used on their UK tour in February 2015.[10]

They released their second album, Modern Earth, on 8 April 2016, via Californian label Pure Noise Records.

In January 2018, Landscapes deleted their Instagram and Facebook accounts and added to their Twitter bio: "Was a hardcore punk rock band, now dead. 2010–2018 RIP."
