The Birmingham quintet Cytota have changed their name to SHVPES.
With a new singer, Griffin Dickinson, and new material the band felt a name change was the best move.
Dickinson said:
"The short time I toured with Cytota was great, but with our new dynamic, it became clear to us all that the name had reached the end of its chapter. SHVPES represents the start of a new era for this band and I'm immensely excited to be a part of it."
Drummer Harry Jennings added:
"Cytota has been my life for the past 5 years. We didn't take this decision lightly and it feels like the natural thing to do, we have progressed so much in the last few months with the addition of Griffin, that it needed a new name for the new energy and vibe we had. It's really exciting."
SHVPES will be on tour with 36 Crazyfists from the start of February followed by a handful of shows with Fightstar later in the month.
