What's the band's history so far?

Started out in 2003 - 14 years old, gave another school band some friendly rivalry. Grew from there and became something really cool. Best gigs so far were: won a Battle of the Bands at King George's Hall, played twice at Manchester Academy 3, supported Pink Floyd tribute band - "Off The Wall" outdoors at Clitheroe Castle!

Style and influences?

Very broad range of influences. Green Day to Blink 182, System of a Down to Muse. Chemical Brothers to "the music". ARCTIC MONKEYS! Sounds like a mixture of rock/grunge/punk? we're not quite sure ourselves.

Best moment so far?

Off The Wall gig - looking out to see people stretching so far back on the grass.
Also, at every gig when we see people singing the words to our songs back at us - that's pretty special!

Worst/most embarrassing moment so far?

Looking back there were lots of embarrassing things that seemed fine at the time, such as a charity gig for breast cancer awareness - Chris wore his mum's red bra and knickers onstage, looking back I think he finds that pretty embarrassing! It's always bad when there are any sound problems at gigs too...

Anything else we should all know about?

That's it really. We have a cd out called "Full of Mistakes" which is available through the band for £4. Lots of new material waiting to be recorded, come see us live to make up your mind!
