North for the Winter are songs about the end of the world, artistic violence, love, loss and shiny things explored through the abuse of a handful of guitars, violins, harmonies and drums. Likened to local heroes Hundred Reasons and eclectic Scottish trio Biffy Clyro, North For The Winter are 3 twenty-something university drop-outs and a singer from Lon-din.

"Dark and brooding when required, they play with passion and conviction throughout. A band most effective when going for the skyscraping half-time breakdown, on the whole they are a well-honed Britrock machine." - Chris Carter, Warwick University Entertainments Administrator

"Intelligent yet poppy, abrasive, delicate and eccentric." - Basingstoke Gazette Newspaper

"Not just joining the rock scene, but truly going about finding their place, this band care about their music; this shows in their performance and dedication to their art. North For The Winter are a band who want to be able to say that they came and made their mark."

Singer - Vocals

We are currently looking for a new vocalist. If you're interested, give us a shout!
We don't have a gender preference, so long as you can sing and command a stage. We can play the existing songs in different keys should they not suit your range but I'm sure new songs will be on the cards too.

Chris - Guitars, Vocals

Chris abuses a guitar and shouts like a neanderthal.
Chris likes: Sucioperro, Biffy Clyro, Hundred Reasons, Reuben, Idlewild, Million Dead, Mono, Marmaduke Duke etc.
Chris doesn't like: most things!

Andy - Basses

Andy emits a low frequency buzzing, often in the key that the song is played in.
Andy likes: All things metal.
Andy doesn't like: things that aren't metal!

Jim - Drums, Vocals

Jim batters drumskins into submission with suprising accuracy.
Jim likes: Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, Reuben, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Hell Is For Heroes, Hundred Reasons etc.
