Band History -
We started back in 2004, with Steve Parrish – rhythm guitar & lead vocals, Michael Whichelow – bass guitar, Josh Crisp – drums and Shane Hemms – lead guitar. In this time we were practicing, writing songs and gigging loads anywhere we could. Without this period we wouldn’t be where we are now, it made us learn a lot of lessons and because we basically learnt the instruments together , we became really tight when we played and wrote songs together. _________________________________________________________________________
Unfortunately in 2006, we lost our lead guitarist – Shane Hemms. Luckily, in a couple of months we found our new lead guitarist – Tony Crisp. It just seem to fit as Tony Crisp is our drummer’s, Josh Crisp, brother and he played the exact type of music as us so it was a perfect match. So the line up now hasn’t changed since then, Steve Parrish – rhythm guitar & lead vocals, Michael Whichelow – bass guitar & backing vocals, Josh Crisp – drums and Tony Crisp – lead guitar.

Gigging History -
We have been together now for over 5 years there have been loads and loads of gigging in that time, when we first started it was pubs and just supporting other local bands, just doing everything we could to get a gig. As we gigged so much this really helped tighten us up and create some kind of fan base!
_________________________________________________________________________
We are lucky enough to have gigged in some really nice places. Unfortunately they can’t all be as nice as each other so there have been a fair few shit holes, but never really mattered to us, a gigs a gig we always give 100% every time, gigging is what it’s all about!!!
