About Me


Van .. Vocals
Mitch .. Guitar/Vocals
Stu .. Bass
Andy .. Drums
CM45 were formed in 2005
CM45 have appeared all over the country at gigs including The Isle of Wight, Cardiff, 3 different venues in Harlow, The Tek (a new venue in Dagenham) and the Hertford Marquee. All of which have asked the band to come back and play again. July sees more gigs in St Albans (headlining), Hertford and in August the band are headlining the Harlow Youth Festival celebrations. It was a great thrill for the band when they were asked by Harlow Town Football Club to produce a theme song which is used to announce the arrival of the teams at each Home match. This song is called “Harlow Boys”.
Many fans and listeners of the band have defined CM45 to play in the style of U2, with anthemic vocals and textural guitar supported by punchy bass and drums which fits into genre of Rock/Post Punk/Alternative Rock. All the songs are written by the band and the range shows a broad spectrum of exciting sound.
Mitchell moved to the Isle of Wight in late 2006 and I.O.W Radio became aware of the band’s music where it is now regularly heard on the air and they have frequent mentions on programs. This has grown the interest from listeners on the Island and from around the country via the stations online facility.
This June saw a fantastic accolade given to the band when they played at the most vaunted ISLE of WIGHT FESTIVAL bandstand at the request of JOHN GIDDINGS the Promoter.
CM45 are the band of the FUTURE

The Gig last night (Friday 10th August 2007) went very well, seeing that we didnt have a rehearsal for 2 weeks. We had Mitchell travel down from the Isle of Wight that morning, knowing he was at work the night before till 7am Friday morning. Van was in a bad way due to a recent accident too. And i will not tell you what Andy and Stu were up to back stage!!! But through all this, the gig was amazing and once again we want to thank the Strange Place Club for having us again!
We also have a gig next weekend (18th August 2007) at the Harlow Town Park Bandstand for the Youth Festival. If the day is a nice hot sunny day then it will be a great one for everyone. Great day of GREAT and exciting bands and DJ's.

Hey everyone, just writing our gig reviews here. The 3rd of July at the Horn was a great night, sound was great, played fantastic, great turnout too.
The 9th July at the Hertford Marquee was amazing, again, amazing sound, we played like it was our last gig, we even opened up with a new song. For those who unfortunately were unable to make the gig are in for a big suprise at our next with this song.....weve taken a turn and gone more in your face with the rock....you will just have to hear it.

Happy Birthday Van!:

10th April 2007

Hey everyone
Again....been a long time since an update here, so were really sorry about that. As you know we had a gig last night. Everything went wrong the moment we steped through the Venues door. Andys cymbols went missing, we did a kit share with the 3 other bands and the band before us split the bass drum skin but was replaced in an instant (which was lucky) and if it couldn't get any worse, Mitch's guitar string snapped on the second song. We saw through all the disasters and played our heart out,playing every song we could that didn't require the high e that snapped on mitch's guitar. So we just want to thank each and everyone of you that was there in supporting us throughout the whole night!
We also have another gig coming up next week on the 19th April at the Harlow Square so we hope to see you all down there and not have a disastrous gig. We can't promise anything but we may have a new song for the set by the gig and we hope to play it there too!
Thank you all once again!

23rd September 2006

Hi there guys. Just a quick update on the situation here. We have two gigs coming up, the first being a private party for a family member, the second is at The Square on the 19th Oct. Hope to see you there. We have just signed up to NMEs new music site so take a look at www.nme.co.uk/newmusic/cm45 and have a listen and a few votes would be greatly appreciated. Thats all for now guys, more updates to come as and when new events are taking place. See you all soon!!

11th September 2006

So sorry its been so long guys....been busy with everything here!!!! Mitchell is now living on the Isle of Wight, was really hard when he went, we thought he wouldn't come back but proved us wrong when he came back for the week and played the gig in Dagenham at The Tek. It turned out to be an amazing gig, so now we just cant wait to show you guys at the square. Like I said its been hard for the past few weeks but we have managed to put together a couple of new songs which are (again!) completely different from anything we have done before!!! we are still in the process of making cds and demos....so we hope we will have a few at the Square gig on the 19th October!!!! See you guys soon!!!

16th August 2006

Hi there people, got a few things to say today, one being that our Harlow Boys song has been put out now, but you have to find it to hear it!!! No idea what im talking about?......well...lets say the Harvey Shopping Center in Harlow has its own Radio Staion called "Harvey FM", they got the first ever copy of the song and have already played it a few times, we also had a photo shoot with the Radio team for our local news paper the Harlow Star (which should be out by the end of this week) and should have a article about the band.....but there is so much more to come!!!!! We are now taking the song to another local radio station "TEN 17 fm" on Thursday and see what happens from there. We are also selling copys at the Harlow Football Home Game this sat as the track is being played before, in the middle and after the game, so feel free to pop down and buy a copy!!!! The second thing is "Mitchell Ray" (guitarist) is moving to the Isle of Wight on Monday the 21st of August, shocking news we know, but things will go silent for a couple of weeks but he is not leaving the band, the band will not split!!! Things will start to get difficult when hes gone but all is sorted that he will be travelling back to rehears with the band but things will go silent as it is a hard time for all of us.....so we thought you guys should know!!! But on a happy note lol....we have 2 new songs being put up very soon, "Breaking me down" and "Black day", so we hope you enjoy!!!
