        A lot of people hear the words rap/metal and automatically say, "You're like Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park, huh?" but we're not ...

When Reconcile put on a show, we like to show all of our influences in our music. Beatboxing, rapping, harmonising and good old fashioned rocking out.

We are a five piece rap/rock metal band hailing from South Wales and Bristol. We formed in early 2008 and since then have been perfecting our unique sound of a rock/hip hop with hints of classic rock and metal. Combined with the vocalists' lyrical genious, the band has created their own twist in the UK rock scene.

Few are disappointed, many are sweaty!

Each band member has come from a different background which has enabled us to have many influences in our music.
