SCUFFERS started out in August 2007 after guitarists Pat Scully and Si Reekie got together to take part in a radio project for CreativeFM in Huddersfield using the name 'Novacaine'.
This project led them to being invited to perform at the 'Stokestock' festival at the Upper George pub in Halifax some weeks later. It was at this point that Davy Butler was recruited to play bass and help out with vocals.
Following their success at 'Stokestock' Danny Tuck, an experienced performer with other groups, joined the band as their drummer.
The band then concentrated on writing their own material and experimented with different ideas and styles over the following weeks and it was not until January 2008 that the line up was finally completed with Gaz Clay joining as lead vocalist.
The new band gave itself the name 'Scuffers Romance'. They had their first taste of performing live together on 1st February 2008 at the Ukrainian Club (Elephant Stoned) in Halifax which proved to be a huge hit with their new audience. This led in subsequent weeks to further successful gigs at different venues in the Halifax and Huddersfield areas.
The popularity of the band was now increasing and as a result they were encouraged to enter the 'Battle of the Bands' competition at Jumpin Jaks in Halifax. On only their 6th live performance on 10th April 2008 they played at and won their heat, beating three other experienced and established bands. They were however later narrowly beaten in the final of the event on 8th May 2008, despite the support of over 100 fans who attended to cheer them on.
Following their performance in the competition the band made their final name change to 'SCUFFERS'.
The band now has an ever increasing following. They continue to write and perform their own material which they intend to record onto an album for release towards the end of 2008.
They are also looking forward to recording a television programme on 12th September 2008 at Jabez Clegg in Manchester (Stage Pass Productions) which will be broadcast on sky channel 195 Propeller TV soon afterwards.
The band expresses it's sincere thanks to their fans who provide them with their continued support. he's coming back.
