CULM has been an ongoing music project since the late 1990's. Through this time the project has developed its own 24 track digital studio at Culmhead on the Blackdown Hills in Somerset (hence the name CULM), and has travelled through four distinct changes or bands in that time to arrive at the present line up and sound. CULM1 was a project which lasted for 2 years with Marcus Fry, Pete Stanley, Neil Eckhart, Rob Swain and Andrew Lee.

This group developed one album and one EP in its time (Evolution and System Theory.) The System Theory EP was produced at the MOLES studio in Bath and was quite successful in a way, attracting interest and involvement from both Jamiroquai and Placebo's management companies. Progressing with this sound and line up was not to be however, with Marcus and Pete deciding to head off into their own club-chill project called COP SHOW.

Rob, Neil and Andy continued the project under the CULM name though, producing a softer, more chilled sound recording another EP 'CULM2' in 2000 with singers Jess Cunningham (English version), and Dina Aires (Portuguese version).

Little was pursued with this sound sadly, the band having problems co-ordinating a direction and purpose for the material with either vocalists. This left Neil and Rob to start a Prog-Rock project in late 2000 also still under the name CULM but now very much a studio 'virtual' band with other musicians and friends helping out as the need arose until finally in 2004 the concept album called COLD WAR CHILD had reached its conclusion. Rob and Neil considered trying to form this into a live band to present the LP, but its complexity meant they would have to compromise on the sound.

The two regrouped with drummer Andrew Lee and, with all three wanting to form a new CULM with the sole purpose of producing and presenting a live band/act with a collection of past material reproduced into a new vibe and also with the writing and forming of a new batch of material, this was realised when the three were helped by the arrival of new singer Alex Carter in 2005.

Now a complete band again, the sound was formed into what CULM is today - a hybrid of funk, soul and rock. CULM now plan to gig extensively with their set working towards the plan of producing a new album later this year and promoting this and themselves through their live work in the UK.
