THE STORY

From the quiet town of Chester-le-Street where nothing much happens, you either wander the streets as part of a gang or you make music. Starblind wander the streets harrassing old women for pensions - or in the case of Hesi, rape.
We met in November 2005, and have struck up a brilliant friendship between us, and that's culminated in this band. We're dedicated to this, and even a year without Starblind couldn't keep us apart, as the band reformed in January 2008.
Like everyone else, we love to have a good time (usually XBox... with Pow and Hesi playing footy games) and we have the drive to get this band somewhere.
With the as-of-yet untitled EP coming soon, we're hoping to prove to everyone that we mean business.
