Electronica alternative rock band culm;
a brief in history in time.... 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.

CULM was a Bristol sound focused project which lasted for 2 years with Marcus Fry, Pete Stanley, Neil Eckhart, Rob Swain and Andrew Lee as its components. This group developed one album and one EP in its time (Evolution and System Theory.) The EP being professionally produced at the MOLES studio in Bath. System theory was quite successful in a way, attracting interest and involvement from both Jamiroqui 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 Bristol sound/trip hop flavour and recording another EP 'CULM2' in 2000 with the help of 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 under the name FALLING ELEVATOR ...a studio 'virtual' band. 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 would mean the sound would have to compromised. Left on the back burner, but continuing under the name 'CULM' the two regrouped with drummer Andrew Lee, 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 materials reproduced into a new vibe and also with the writing and forming of a new batch of material. This became truly realised when the three were helped by the arrival into the band of a new singer Alex Carter in 2005. Now a complete band again the sound was formed into what CULM is today a prog-rock /dark funk hybrid of sound. CULM in this format gigged and worked in the studio producing new material until finally in 2009 the band released an hour long DVD recorded with multi cams and quality sound using Otter studio's mobile recording unit. The dvd, Resolution, is one hour of CULM's favorite songs through the entire culm history 99-09.
