About Me

FUTILE!
Futile are a 3 piece Grunge/Alternative Rock band from a little town called Exmouth in Devon.
Futile's line-up is, Dave Fitzpatrick, who is Guitarist and Vocalist, Byron Mcgreevy, who plays Bass guitar and Vocals and Kev Morgan (Morg) who plays Drums.
Despite having numerous line-up problems since forming in 2001, the current line-up of Dave, Byron and Morg have been together since Dec 2006. In this time Futile have been playing in and around the Exeter area with very good feedback.
We have also recorded our first 5 track E.P called "Burnt Offerings" on 27th October 2008 in Coombeshead studios in Newton Abbott.
Futile are looking to play further away from Exmouth and Exeter to allow more people to listen to the music live and gain a bigger fan base, so keep your eyes peeled. =]
"Grunge-peddling three-piece Futile recall much of the raw punkish energy of Nirvana and similarly manage to harness the subtle melodies that made much of Cobain's writing so poignant" [7] ROCKSOUND
Our new E.P. "Burnt Offerings" is Available to buy from Martian Records-Exmouth, on-line or at gigs!!!
