Circus Act were a 3 peice from Southampton who played their own style of rocking melodic hardcore. They were often compared to bands such as Hot Water Music, Fugazi and Braid although they didn't really sound like any of them. They released two CD's on Milliepeed records; "No History, No Consequences" and "This Is Your Destination", and most recently, "Sleepwalking the Tightrope" on Nothing to Prove Records, probably the best record of their career. They split up in 2007 causing universal distress and unhappiness.
