YOUR ONLY YOUNG ONCE

About Me

We’re an original band from Winsford in Cheshire. We write and arrange our own material and are influenced by a wide range of music mainly punk, ranging from the seventies to now. Our band has been going now for 4 years, playing as many gigs as we can and building a fan base all over the country from Scotland to down South. Conrad Ellis plays Guitar and lead vocals, Sam Bell plays Bass guitar, vocals, Jess Whitmore plays the drums and speed demon. All of us are best mates and enjoy every minute of playing live, sharing a bath, recording and writing songs. In late 2006 we recorded our first 4 track EP at Playground Studios (DarioG) in Crewe which we were 110% happy with, we are now currently working with Steve Powell (Producer for The La’s) on our second EP. Our style of music is hard to describe, so people should decide for themselves. Alot of people say our music reminds em of 70s punk, which we are always happy to hear. Our gigs are always energetic, electric and full of laughs and not to mention the odd beer. Love Scooter Rallies,cant beat em! It’s always a buzz when you’re playing to a crowd who are really up for it and we live for playing live, we enjoy every minute of it.We're all in our teens and life is good ..............So Keep it Live................The Targets"
