Climates were a British melodic hardcore band formed in 2011 in Lincoln, England, by Wesley Thompson, Sam Bowden, Fil Thorpe Evans, Harley Clifton and Henry Othen.[1] However Evans departed in early 2013 to join Neck Deep full-time and Clifton and Othen both departed in 2012.[2] The firing of Thompson in 2014 lead to the bands eventual break up (from which Bowden, Powels, Pritchard and Dawson recruited Kaya Tarsus forming Blood Youth).[3]
