GIVE US A GIG!!! - Just send us a message.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in summer 2002 Lee Devey and Mike Thatcher were two friends at Chasetown High School, both into the same stuff; video games, hanging around, skating, pissing everybody off, but importantly – music and bands. Lee had started learning guitar and not long after Mike got a bass so the two could play together. Wanting to start a band, they went in search of others to get a full line-up. They begged another couple of guys from school, Matthew Leak played guitar and James Brotherton managed to get his hands on a drum kit.

They began practicing, and still do at Loud Noisez Studios (previously known as Overdrive and V-Studios) in Hammerwich. The first year would involve a couple of line-up changes, arguing, the recording of a first demo and a few small gigs. The year after; another demo and more shows at better places but all this would come to an end because of college/uni/work commitments, and the bassist Dan Jones going to Australia.

Another couple of years on from this Lee and Matthew wanted to carry on with the band. Dan's back, but now behind the drums and they got Si the guy in on bass. A few re-union gigs have gone down well, pretty much bringing us up to date – they're starting over again; practicing, song writing and playing shows at anywhere/for anyone that will let 'em!
