Officially launched in 1984, UK-based IT BITES are still a relevant and thought-provoking entity in 2012. Hailed as everything from prog to pop to art rock over the course of their career – which was temporarily halted by a 16 year break between 1990 and 2006 – the band continues to boast a diversity that has even their most devout fans guessing from album to album. Their new outing, Map Of The Past, keeps this tradition alive and kicking.
