*Writing an album!*

About Me

**WRITING AN ALBUM/LOOKING FOR SHOWS!**
What we say!
What the hell?! are a Synth fuelled, Guitar driven, Power/Pop/Punk band from Kent, England. We are just 6 guys making music and having a hell of a lot of fun!
We've been doin this band malarky since early 06 and intend to keep at it! We're not rushing anything and work hard to write the best possible songs that we can and put on the best show that we possibly can!
The 6 of us are all in school/sixth form/Uni and just gigging and recording when ever we can and seeing where it takes us.
Our live shows are 100% fun and full of energy! We write songs that we’d want to hear and if you like them too then that’s awesome :D
Keep checking the page for new gigs, recordings and videos! We're bringing happy back :)
Ben, Huxley, James, Tom, Jake Mike

Sounds Like: What they say!

'I hear alot of potential- keep writing and playing!'
Chris Jay - Army Of Freshmen

'The first thing I noticed about the third band was just how young they all are and the the second was the incredible confidence levels of each of them! Such was their confidence, half way through their performance they treated us all to a great sounding brand new song, written just 2 days previously! (Mr Blobby) Again catchy numbers were a big hit with the audience, mixing funky keyboards with a fine guitar sound!'
Live review from BOTB - The Gig Guide

'The crowd loved them and they performed an excellent set. Each one of the guys, in my opinion, are born entertainers who always give it 100%.. You just have to give them an opportunity to prove themselves.'
Vickie Bailey - Angelclaim Promotions
