About Me

We have been a band since July '05 and were brought together without knowing each other (except Andy & Ferg). We have been writing original material ever since we started and don't worry about sticking to an exact style, bringing in influences of each member including metal of all kinds, funk, jazz, blues and straight up rock.
We've played the local Battle of the Bands for the last 3 years, getting podium positions each time. We also played a BOTB in London and got through to the regionals, where Kerrang! saw us play and called Andy a genius, and not for his knowledge of long words either.
We've had our own radio show on the local station as well as having songs from our live set at North Nibley Music Festival being played. We've also played Berkeley Festival and Stroud Show with Door Youth Project and at Dursley Bonfire night twice with Severn Sound.
We've gigged at Moles Club (Bath), Two Pigs (Cheltenham), Guildhall (Gloucester), Dome Club (London), Cheee & Grain (Frome), Sub Rooms (Stroud) as well as all over Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire.
We've got a recording of Motives up from when we recorded with Wired and live tracks from North Nibley Music Festival. In April we recorded at Subterranean Studios for TWiGs first short album! We recorded 5 songs which will be available shortly!
