Skwerm
Skwerm are a metalcore band from heroin infested Grantham and luckyly none of our members are on that shit, so we're able to write rip roaring super speed tracks without dyeing.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO DAN AND STU MET AND DISCOVERD THEY BOTH HAD A LOVE FOR HARDCORE PUNK, AFTER TALKING ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE DAN MANAGED TO GET HIS DAD TO GET THEM A PRACTICE ROOM SET UP IN A SHED/WORKSHOP AT HIS DADS WORK. THEY WROTE A COUPLE OF TRAX AND REALISED THEY HAD SOMETHING GOOD, SO ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A BASS PLAYER. ANDI CAME ROUND ONE NIGHT TO HAVE A LISTEN AND LIKED WHAT HE HEARD, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS BY TRADE A GUITARIST HE ASKED TO PLAY BASS JUST TO BE A PART OF IT.
AFTER A YEAR OR SO OF JUST PRACTICING 3 TIMES A WEEK WITHOUT A VOCALIST, WITH SUPER SHIT EQUIPMENT AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG GOING WRONG, STU WENT TO SOUTH AFRICA TO SORT HIMSELF OUT AND GET AWAY FROM GRANTHAM AKA SCAGVILLE. WE TRIED TO CARRY ON WITH ANOTHER DRUMMER BUT ALL WE DID WAS GET PISSED AND FUCK ABOUT, WHICH, ALTHOUGH WAS A FUCKING GOOD LAUGH, NEVER AMOUNTED TO ANYTHING, THAT CARRIED ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN...............
STU WAS BACK AND READY TO ROLL. WE SCRAPPED ALL OLD STUFF, DECIDING IT WAS TOO SLOW AND POOFY, AND WROTE A NEW SET OF RIP ROARING HARDCORE TRACKS.
