Band Members:
Nick [Vox]
Name: Nick Cowling
Age: 17
Bio: I started singing when I could talk I guess. I have always loved it. I have never sang in a band till about two years ago when I did "Basketcase" by Green day for a GCSE assessment in music, thats when I first bonded with Kirmit, and then after our music exam he came to me with the proposal of a band, Me being me was like hell yeah. I was going to be a drummer in a band with Jim and some toher guys but it never really took off and im not a good enough drummer to carry through a band anyway.
I have been mates with Jim for about 12 years now, and known Sascha about 6 or 7 years.
I love doing stupid stuff that makes me laugh. I dont really care what people think about I just loving being me and love loving life.
Jim [L/R.Guitar]
Name: Jim Garratt
Age: 16
Bio:Its taken a little while for me to write one of these because I really didn’t know what to say, so here it goes. Me and nick go way back into the early primary school days, so when he asked me to play guitar for him I was more than happy to accept, Sasch, Ballen and Craig have been good mates for a lot of my time at Chelmer. I have been playing guitar on and off since about year 5 I think, but I’m not quite sure :P have jammed with friends around the village before but never in a serious band, so cant wait to get our recordings done and play some gigs!! I love anything 2 do with extreme sports, couldn’t live without a good adrenalin rush now and then!
Ballen [R/L.Guitar]
Name: Rob "Ballen" Allen
Age: 16
Bio: Well i started playing guitar like 5/6 years ago, and it was always my dream to be able to play music, and When i started listening to Blink when i first found out about Punk music, i knew what i wanted to do. I joined this band after sashca proposed the thought of another guitar, and after talking with the others about the idea, they agreed and i accepted his offer, because every other member of this band is a good friend of mine, and i know it will be great fun playing with these guys, and i think the music made will be incredible.
Kirmit [Bass]
Name: Craig "Kirmit" Capener
Age: 16
Bio: Rite well i started playing guitar when i turned 13...started out playing punky sort of stuff. i got myself into a band with a drummer but we had no bass player or singer and it wasnt moving anywhere so i thought it was best to just not turn up to practices anymore.
I started playing bass two years after i started guitar. I found it more of a fun instrument to play but carried on with guitar as i was better at it. After a few months however a local band was looking for a bass player and i offered 2 fill the slot, me and the singer then decided to leave and form something else with me on guitar. We were doing quite well but then the other guitarist left and it all changed so i decided to leave as well.
After being bandless for about 5 or 6 months, i decided to talk to nick with a proposal of a band after our performance of basket case for our gcse music.
And thus first rate robbery was born.
most of the time i like to hang around with mates. i love getting drunk and doing really silly things even if i do later regret them.
