"Circus Of The Sun's Seal meets The Spin Doctors meets Soundgarden style is most certainly appealing."

— Frontiers Magazine UK

Circus of the Sun formed in 1992. This kicked off three years of writing, performing, and maturing as musicians. In 1995 they released their self titled debut CD upon the Cincinnati music scene. This defined Circus as a rock band with a unique sound, blending deep grooves with soulful melodies.

Over the next several years, Marty, Ashley, Dave and Chuck wrote and recorded two full length CD's for use in television and film. You've probably already heard some of their music on "Party Of Five", "Politically Incorrect" , "Boy Meets World", and other major network shows.

After almost seven years of writing, recording, and touring experience, Circus of the Sun released their much anticipated second CD titled "beware of giants..." in December of '98. This release combines heavy hitting tracks such as "Urban Sprawl" and "800 Miles" with the soothing, melodic tones reflected in "Temporary Messiah" and "Here To Stay."

The response to the disc has been positive and with a series of shows throughout the year, Circus of the Sun have established themselves on a regional basis. Check out the disc or just stay tuned to hear more music from Circus.
