Idiom are a Manchester-based band that strive to be as creative and imaginative as possible when it comes to writing music. Formed in the summer of 2005, the band started out as a college project but it didn’t take long for it to flourish into something much greater.Soon after leaving college, Seb and Ollie (Drums & Guitars) began looking for the perfect line-up to help create the material they had, but couldn’t express. They soon found a fantastic bassist by the name of Will. Although only 15 at the time, he had the ability of someone twice his age. And in the past year, he’s progressed even further, not only as a bassist, but as a musician.
Next up, the trio realised that they needed a keyboardist to really gain that true progressive feel. After a few months of scouring the land (locally), a keyboardist contacted them about a position in the band. Immediately after his audition, Brandon was accepted as a full-time member of Idiom.Now the the instrumental section of the band was complete, they need one last member to complete the line-up. A vocalist. After a LOT of hunting and scouring the land even moreso than before, they were contacted by Ben (Vocals). After some auditioning and a gig, we realised that he was the guy for us.
Sadly, Seb left the band in October ’07 for personal reasons, but we wish him the best of luck with all of his future endeavors. From December ’08, Tom Rydeard is officially the new drummer for Idiom and we’re looking forward to lots of success with the man.Idiom continue to write as much music as they can while being as original as possible. Their first EP entitled "Idiom" is available NOW and can be purchased from any of the band members. Just shoot us a message or call us if you can and we’ll get one out to you.
