Headwork's main driving force exists within the extraordinary determination and passion in what they do. The band take careful thought and consideration when writing their music, and this has proved vital, in managing to bridge the gap that usually exists between modern atmospheric music, and the harder musical styles of today. This creative application enables them to blend these different styles of music. Naturally they do have their own style integrated within the music, and this is the element that gives Headwork a commercial and competitive edge. Sometimes when composing the band is prepared to join songs, usually this is done in order to add a concept to the music (a form of pre-production whilst composing, before the recording). For instance the song ' In this World I ' in short, is a slow rock type ballad that comes to an end with an excellent guitar piece. Towards the end of the song it fades off gradually with the bass line, leaving only the strings and sweep pads to blend into the next track. On follows ' In this World II ' it's initialized by the sweeping ambient synths that beckons on the bass line, that has a distinct reggae feel to it. Jungle style hi hats and snares build the track slightly and soon settle down with native Indian style vocals throughout. It really is an uplifting, atmospheric piece of music. This is a typical example of Headwork's ability to blend sometimes-extreme contrasting styles. Their influences include bands such as, The Stranglers, U2, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Suede, The Damned, The Police, Pink Floyd, Bill Nelson, and reggae artists such as, Black Uhuru, and Lee Scratch Perry. Headwork has already attracted the attention of a number of record companies such as, Arula Records and Raspberry Records. Headwork's live performances consist of a group of sets picked from their vast portfolio. The results are an intriguing blend of catchy originality, and dark commercialism. Proving very popular with audiences so far encountered.
