Band Members: CHRIS HORNER 'Soppy Bollocks' or 'Short Arse'
TOWN: Worthing
PROFESSION: Cleft Hoist Transportation Operative
PREFERRED PROFESSION: Musician
ROLE IN BAND: VOCALS, GUITAR
Chris, the founder and leader of 3TL, started the band back in 2003 for a laugh with friends, but soon it materialised into something more beautiful than sex.
Chris has been the longest serving member of the band and remains the face of 3TL. With the additions of Olly & Matt he is looking forward to the band evolving into a band that every young musician dreams of being in.
His ability to write and play songs relevant to the style of the band is second to none. His constant jokes about his friends being gay and parents from outer space has evolved into catchy easy listening tunes that everyone enjoys.
OLLY VINCENT 'Vince/Mr Vincent'
TOWN: Worthing/Broadwater
PROFESSION: Lifeguard
PREFERRED PROFESSION: Musician/Music Video Director
ROLE IN BAND: BASS GUITAR & VOCALS
Olly has played in several different bands over the last five years and he’s therefore not inexperienced. His combination of solid bass lines, powerful backing vocals and boyish good looks made him the perfect third member of the band and he's also very tall which makes Chris the shortest. Olly, Carl & Matt are saving up for a box for Chris to stand on!
CARL SWIETLIK 'Mapex Man'
TOWN: Durrington
PROFESSION: Artisan
PREFERRED PROFESSION: Pro Drummer
ROLE IN BAND: DRUMS, PERCUSSION
Carl is the second longest serving member of 3TL and officially the only chav of the band. With a limited vocabulary Carl makes up for his lack of speech in the most kick arse drumming you will ever hear. You won't miss Carl standing in the crowd cos apart from being very tall as well (at a conservative 6'3") he's usually wearing one of his bright yellow t-shirts - but that only brings out Carl's inner self!
MATT DAWE 'Dave'
TOWN: Worthing
PROFESSION: Corporate Slave
PREFERRED PROFESSION: Musician
FUTURE PROFESSION: Chris's guitar tech
ROLE IN BAND: GUITAR & VOCALS
Post initiation, Matt is the newest addition to the band and probably the best looking person on the amateur music scene to date (according to him) and with his god-like stage presence and indescribable style he is fast becoming the definition of 3tl and has begun the process of taking Chris's lead riffs and passing them off as his own. He is also the inventor of the "Alys jump"Matt's influences (ok favourite artists) are Sum 41, Hell Is For Heroes and Finch.
He's also about 5'11" in height which makes Chris the official short-arse of the band.NEWSFLASH
Chris is currently working on a new tune whose working title is "I wish I was as tall as those other three bastards!"
Influences: Influenced by the punk rockers of today, this brings a pop-punk style to the band with the sounds of Blink182, Alkaline Trio and Greenday.
Sounds Like: Blink182, Alkaline Trio, Green Day
Record Label: ...working on it
Type of Label: None
