Hi, I'm Martyn and I'm the bassist and singer in The Pilgrims. I live only a short distance from Shaun in Coppenhall therefore it was only a matter of time before I was carrying my bass around Shaun's house and jamming away!
I've been in many bands during the few years I've played bass. The band I most enjoyed playing in before I joined The Pilgrims was a sludge core band called SisterPiss, although I joined another band as SisterPiss couldn't get hold of any decent guitarists. The "other" band didn't actually have a name and although we toyed around with names (none worth remembering) we never decided on one. Anyway the band I was in had Shaun Wright on Rhythm Guitar, Matty Green on Lead Guitar, Alex Tomkinson on drums and of cause, me on bass. The band split up though due to personal differences. This never stopped me and Shaun starting up The Pilgrims.
Anyway, I was born November 14th 1987. I lived in Williston till I was about 9 then I moved to Leighton in Coppenhall.
If I had to pick 5 of my favorite bands they'd be:
The Pixies
The Manic Street Preachers
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Nirvana
I like to think that I'm influenced musically by all of them bands, so as you can imagine some of the songs I write can be pretty fucked up sometimes!
I can't think of anything else to say about me, and I'm sure not many people will read this ANYWAY lol!
Ok, Bye bye
