Audiotraffic are an indie rock band from Hong Kong, China. Formed in 1996, their music is reminiscent of British indie bands such as The Verve, Muse, and Radiohead.
After playing in a short lived grunge cover band together in their teens, Adrian Da Silva and Don Cruz regrouped in the summer of 1996 to write Brit/indie-rock style music, a relatively new musical direction for them. After recording a demo and recruiting bassist Wade Bollingbroke and drummer Alex Lee, ‘Cry’ (later renamed Audiotraffic) was signed to Wings Music Entertainment.
In 1998, Cry’s first album was recorded and produced by Benjamin LeFevre, a music veteran who has worked with the likes of Pet Shop Boys, The Rolling Stones and Van Halen. Adrian and Don travelled to London to do a final mixing of their CD, spending just 11 days on recording and post production. Wade and Alex left the band due to personal reasons and were replaced by Woo Joo Lee and Masaki respectively.
The band has since spent the last few years playing at various venues and events, appearing on television, film, radio, online and in print. One of the highlights of their career has been opening and supporting the British rock group Mansun on their 1999 tour of Hong Kong. The band was particularly grateful for the personal praise and encouragement that they received from Mansun following their performance. They have also opened for Rialto, Swedish group Prime STH, and Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler』s band The Tears. Now independent from Wings Music Entertainment and as of 2003 renamed ‘Audiotraffic’, the band continue on their path to bring their music to a larger audience.

No shouts for these guys? Here's the first. I hope these guys get better and bigger. HK needs some decent bands other than the same tire cantopop artists.
