NAME: EDIT/SELECT

TYPE OF MUSIC: Indie

LINE UP: Matt Stolworthy - Vocals & Guitar, Joe Bumstead – Bass, Craig Catling – Guitar, Chris Ballard - Drums

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?: Eltham

WHEN AND HOW DID YOU GET TOGETHER?: We got together just under a year ago. Matt and Joe went to St Thomas Mores in Eltham together and then onto Coopers Technology college and played in bands from 15 onwards. Matt met Craig when they played in a previous band together called Play Misty and after that fell through Matt called upon Joe to form the founding members. We have had our share of drummers after our last one left to go to Australia. So at the moment friend Chris Ballard is filling in until a long term replacement is found.

INFLUENCES: Their surroundings, friendships, relationships. Also we are really into bands like Bloc Party, Maccabees and Dizzee Rascal at the moment. But we love all the old stuff like The Specials, Madness, Queen etc.

AMBITIONS: To have fun. We would love to take it as far as we can, and getting a manager would be a great step to take and then getting signed... but as long as we are having fun and playing tunes we enjoy then we will keep smiling and giving it our all.
