Concord Dawn began life as Evan Short & Matt Harvey, bursting onto the New Zealand music scene back in mid-1999 with their unique high octane Drum and Bass sound. After a year or so of underground success, they released their first album Concord Dawn in July 2000. After touring the album throughout New Zealand they released their second album Disturbance in April 2001. Their 3rd album Uprising with tracks like “Morning Light” and “Don’t Tell Me” found international acclaim well before the album’s release, with singles appearing on UK labels including Timeless Recordings. Uprising was released in New Zealand in September 2003. With Concord Dawn now well established internationally and their catalogue now being distributed worldwide, Evan and Matt embarked on a seemingly never-ending world tour, travelling all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia Work on their long-awaited 4th album was completed in early 2005 and was titled Chaos By Design to express the album’s musically eclectic nature. The album and singles won critical acclaim worldwide with various tracks off the albums being signed to some of the biggest and most respected Drum and Bass labels worldwide such as Metalheadz, Ram Records and Hospital. 2008 saw Evan focus on his studio commitments and leave the project while Matt continued on with Concord Dawn, touring extensively and releasing the LPs "The Enemy Within" and "Air Chrysalis". In 2019 the pair reunited and released the "1999" EP.
