Biography

Savannah, Georgia, USA (2001 – present)

Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre. Highly diverse song structures (from meditative, droning intros to crushing choruses) have also assisted in carving their unique niche. The band completed a tour of the UK in mid-2004.

A digital EP, entitled Decompositions - Vol I, Chapter 1: Rites of Initiation, was released via the band’s bandcamp page on the 23rd of August, 2011. The band is set to release long-awaited follow-up to As the Roots Undo (2004) in Novermber 2011, to be entitled Decompositions - Vol I.

Members:
Kathy Coppola - Bass, Vocals
Caleb Collins - drums
Drew Speziale - vocals, guitar
David Rabitor - guitar, backing vocals

    Maybe I'm gonna have to give Decompositions a few more spins to set in and grow on me. I want to like it, but it still just doesn't grab me like As The Roots Undo does.

    I remember my experience of 'As the Roots Undo' as I listen to 'Decom 1'. I burned it onto a blank CD four times to listen to at work. Why four times? Because I would listen to it, decide that I hated it, and chuck the CD away. Then about a month later I'd be humming a song to myself from the album and decide to give it another shot. Eventually I bought a copy and it has been in my top 5 albums ever since, so stick with Decom... is the moral of the story.

    "Decompositions, ..." is something like swans album "The Seer" made in hardcore style

    god this new album is amazing. Im one of the fortunate few with a signed test pressing, but i still want a vinyl copy because of the artwork

    Decompositions is pretty nice. Definitely makes me think of Kylesa, although I think I prefer it to the two Kylesa albums I've heard.
