After forming in the summer of 2006, No Half Measures spent the rest of the year writing songs and rehearsing. 2007 saw the band get out and play some shows, most notably in May where the band won the Goffs School Battle of the bands and went on to play 2 more gigs at the hertford marquee.
The band played a handful of gigs over the summer of 2007 and recorded some live tracks at the square in harlow. The band took a bit of a break before returning for summer 2008!
Each member has written their own bio here:-
Dean:- I have been singing since before I can remember whether it be mucking around with friends and family, or seriously. I also play the guitar but not in this band, me and Adam (Chocolate Bear) our rhythm guitarist write some of the bands orginal material, but most of that is left up to Gav at the moment. We usually get together at Gavs and work on material there together.
Gavin:-
Im a experienced musician and songwriter, playing for over 6 years. I've played in various bands since 2003. I write a lot of the orginal material the band plays as well as havin' the bastards over to my house to rehearse :P
Also play some solo stuff so go check it! Gavins solo myspace
Adam:- I am great, you should meet me seriously im great.
Ginge:- Hey, been playing the guitar for aout 5 years. got a fender jag. love playing/writing music. Previous band is Albino 8-ball.
Ash :- I play drums but i can play guitar as well. I love music and playing it especially. Ive been playing instruments for round about 6 years now so I guess i can call myself an experienced musician!
