Band Members: At acoustic gigs you will generally find myself on vocals (duh, obviously) and Justin Grayston on guitar (he also provides some backing vocals). Justin and I also co-write most of the material. You can find his profile in my top friends.
Influences: I never know where to start with influences as there are always so many and I can never quite put my finger on what it is!! I guess it's everything and anything really!! I guess I should probably name some so here goes....Jeff Buckley is a huge influence. I love his diversity, and lyrical and musical ability. Just brilliant! Radiohead are also a massive influence and for similar reasons. I just love any music that takes you on a journey and gets you emotionally involved from start to finish. Some other influences are The Muse, Delirious, Simon & Garfunkel, Fish, The Darkness for their comical undertone, Foo Fighters simply because Dave Grohl is a complete and utter rock GOD. Plus I'm totally in love with him (must be the facial hair). And just to throw some classics in..... Led Zeppelin, The Who, and The Kinks.
Oh yeah, and did I mention Dave Grohl?
Sounds Like: I've had all sorts of comparisons.....Dido (a menstrual Dido that is), Beth Orton, Alanis Morrisette (don't know why???), and many others.
I think I just sound like me. A girl who sings with a southern British accent (I pronounce glass and bath like arse lmao)
Any other suggestions? would love to hear them!
