Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band was formed 3 years back, with the line up as just Harry, Jamie and Matt.
Playing under the name "Battlejam", the band found local success as the city's next young band.
Recently, in early 2011, the band brought in the bassist (Reuben O'Connell), who completed the line up and picked up from there. From then on, the band changed their name, started to write more songs, and started getting bigger locally.
The future looks bigger and better for The Prospects, so look out for them at local festivals and venues!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
