We're a band of music-loving people, based in the UK [West Midlands]. We write our own music and, when opportunity arises, gig locally. Each of us has different influences so, although we call ourselves an 'alternative' band, we're more fusion and never know what style of music we'll end up writing next.
The band began in 2013 when our original guitarist and our vocalist, got together to write some songs. We were more hard rock back then but after the guitarist left, we went through several personnel changes and, as that happened, so our styles shifted and changed. The only person in the band who was there right at the beginning, is the vocalist.
Yes. We've done a number of charity gigs and support gigs. Unfortunately, during the Pandemic, our brilliant drummer had to quit to focus on work. We've struggled to find a new drummer, but recently we played at a charity gig for Youth Against Poverty, with pre-recorded backing drum tracks and it worked out fine.
We have several influences, from punk, to classic rock, to prog rock, jazz, blues and more. Our vocalist literally listens to all kinds of music, including prog, classical, jazz, hiphop, blues, country, soul and world music. Our keyboard player also plays in a Pink Floyd tribute band. Our bassist plays in a Queen tribute band and one of our guitarists plays in a punk covers band.
I'm the vocalist so not the man to answer this question. I'll find out from the band and let you know.
We are open to charities using our music free of charge, as long as the band gets clear credit.
