MySpace a place for friends

They met up, played together, talked about music, beer, The Mighty Boosh and the meaning of life. After deciding they enjoyed a lot of the same things Chris joined the band.

Now the problems started, finding a bass player was proving difficult. After a couple of candidates auditioned and proved unsuitable the boys were on a drunken night out at the Sugarmill. Quite by chance Matt bumped into an old primary school friend, he asked the same question he had asked everyone he met with 2 arms “ can you play bass?”, “Yes” replied his drunken friend, and an audition was set up. After 2 auditions Rob joined the band and his partnership with Chris has developed into the watertight rhythm section integral to the overall Screwloose sound.

Now the boys were off and running. A series of local gigs followed with support slots at The Rigger, The Glebe and the Sugarmill. They even played (with trepidation) at the Godless Festival, and received positive comments in a local magazine from people more used to thrash metal. They now began to headline as Venues noticed the strong following the boys were attracting. It was time to spread their wings, as gigs were booked across the Midlands. The boys were booked to play 2 gigs at the Cavern in Liverpool, where 80 Screwloose diehards travelled up North to support them. Bigger and more prestigious gigs followed including support to My Awesome Compilation and Dopamine. The summer of 2006 saw the release of their debut EP "Note to self" This proved popular with not only the public but also with BBC Radio Stokes Subculture programme, where the boys were asked to play 2 live sessions.

2007 saw the release of their second EP “A Distant Past” once again receiving widespread praise. The boys then displayed undying faith in their music by turning down a recording contract to self-release (and self-finance) their third EP “A Beginners Guide To Life” by far the bands most polished release, whilst still retaining the bands raw power. Screwloose’s mix of crunching guitar riffs and melodic vocal lines creates a unique but hard-hitting sound that adds to the bands live performance.

2008 is set to be a big year for Screwloose with gigs booked up and down the country and the new EP available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Napster and various other sites.

If you can get to gig, come and say hello. It would be much appreciated. Thanks Screwloose
