What music or artists inspired you?
We all love a bit of reggae in Hemingway, from Katchafire, Bob Marley. Aside from that we love the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sticky Fingers, Ball Park Music. Anything with a solid groove we are able to bond as a band with, groove is the main aim of our music.
How did the band get started?
My brother Christian and myself started writing music together, and after having enough material i asked a mate from Uni whether he would want to play drums. After that i got my best mate Jimmy Jackson onto the bass, until eventually he had other priorities, then we got long time friend Cheyne Starkie in on bass, where we complete our present day line up.
