"The four piece southern band produce raw indie/pop melodies stripped down to the core that will grab your heart and soul. From acoustic jangly songs to up beat anthemic epics, these boys offer a diverse repertoire of songs that will grace any stage or cd collection.
The final line up was secured in March 2007 and since then have played most relevant venues in the South. Have played The Carling Academy's up and down the country as well as a triumphent gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire.
Recreation are quite simply 'Recreation' Indie pop with a rocky edge with vocal similarities with Bono, Neil Diamond & Chris Martin. Big melodic songs with killer guitars.
