Bond is a crossover classical string quartet, similar in style to Vanessa Mae.

The members of the band are Haylie Ecker (first violinist, from Perth, Western Australia, Australia), Eos Chater (second violinist, from Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom), Tania Davis (viola player from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cellist from Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom). The group have had some of their music banned from the UK classical charts , apparently owing to it sounding too much like pop music.
