Along with Punk Syndrome, we are seeing the birth of a new dimension in modern music.
The group is made up of three young men; Luke Steels, 17, on electric guitar and bass, Jack Beavan-Duggan, 18, on electric guitar, and Saul Zur-Szpiro, 20, on the drums. They all have their unique issues that they deal with, perhaps Saul more than most. While he is considered to have classic autism, he can't see, dress or feed himself, but he is the drummer. He is an auditory learner and can pick up on things after he hears them once and he just knows them. Being with the group, rehearsing at least once a week, has brought him something to look forward to and have an expectation to meet.
The band says that it's not about getting a sympathy vote, they love playing music so they will. The group is defying odds all around since autism, in general, is a social and neurological disorder. It's their disabilities that prevent them from understand some of the harsher criticisms that some are bound to lob at them.
