The Fear

The Fear

The Fear is what happens when unfinished business refuses to stay buried. Based in the UK, the band features Benj Ashmead (drums), Mick Satiar (vocals), Ad Lucas (guitar), and Adam Smethurst (guitar) - friends who once chased music full-time in various bands, only to walk away when the dream didn’t quite pay off. They didn’t speak for ten years. In 2024, something shifted. Benj had quietly started writing again after a decade away and a beer with Mick turned into a conversation. The Fear was born - a fresh project fueled by years of experience and renewed drive. Sonically, they fuse the intensity of metalcore with melodic alt-rock sensibilities - drawing from bands like Linkin Park, Underoath, and Papa Roach, while the vocals carry subtle echoes of Mancunian icons Oasis and The Buzzcocks.
