ABOUT
Linked Instincts
Linked Instincts have been along time in the making. Following Dale and Ben attending an open mic session at The Wildman in Norwich and after talking with Dandelion and Will, we soon started to explore the idea of doing something together alongside our current commitments and projects.
​
In February 2020 WhatsApp chats turned into us meeting for the first time to explore options and start a project together. We agreed to a handful of covers and booked a rehearsal room. Sadly due to COVID, everything was put on hold until July.
​
At our first rehearsal, we were buzzing as we created some amazing sounds and soon established that we enjoyed jamming together.
​
Since this point, we have been playing together on covers and original material and very quickly we started to create a set of songs, but with no gig opportunity due to COVID.We plan to write and record an album to be released in spring 2021 followed by a tour.
