'Hi, We are S.O.S and we are a Indie Rock/funk band. We have been together for 1 year (with this line up) but it has taken us that long to find this perfect line up.' S.O.S 2004. 

A little about the bands history:

Tommy and Pete started the band with Tommy playing guitar and Pete on drums 3 years ago as just a instrumental band .

The twosome invited Dan to play bass but realised he played guitar. Tommy then realised "SHIT he's better than me" and Tommy picked up a bass for the first time in his life and found where his talents resided in.

After half a year as an instrumental band they looked for a singer and Found a  Guy, he wasnt upto standard and so sacked him after forgetting the words at Battle of the Bands two years ago. While this happened Pete quit so the remaining members had to find a new guy.  After this rearangment of the band nothing seemed to be going S.O.S's way,no work going in so no work coming out.And so the Band split.

About 2 months later Tommy and Dan discussed the future of the band. They realised Pete was the best drummer in the world and asked him back.

Realising they were shit without a singer they searched for ages for one.And the start of spring in 2004 they came across a guy called Tom with a brilliant voice, crying to express himself. Tom joined the band .Then with the band complete and ready to roll decided to start to write there own songs and leave the covers behind them!

Tom's very tall, dark and handsom . He is a Firey singer and puts everything in to his proformance.He also act's.
