About Us
Craig Haworth and Neil Grace were not like other kids, getting pleasure from seeing another man open an envelope full of your own carefully plucked pubic hair is an experience not fully embraced by the masses. Craig and Neil had other things in common too, they both had guitars, penises and smiles on their faces.

Together they formed the Ho Hams, probably the greatest band Bury, and the Manchester area has ever seen. Not one person who saw The Ho Hams would ever forget it, songs such as Sunnydale and Pete became ingrained in the publics conciousness. The Ho Hams were completed by a drummer named Brainy (I am more of a Darren fan myself). With graduation came the demise of The Ho Hams, but at night I can still hear the screaming of My Own Worst Enemy being massacred by three men in a garage.

The UCI cinema in Preston has seen some great moments in fifteen years, The premiere of Chicken Tikka Masala for example, or the discovery of a creature named Chris King. Craig was working at this very cinema when a golden-haired drummer with a constant pop-rock setting was employed. Craig and Darren were brought together. Craig hated Darren at first, fuelled by constant rumours of his sexual preferences. Darren was everything Craig was not; short, blonde (ish) and unpopular. One night after cleaning up together they began talking about bad punk-rock that nobody else liked. They talked till the sun rose and Just Like Her was born.

Just Like Her are a punk-rock band who believe in playing whatever they want (as long as Neil is carrying the other two with his talent), as well as being influenced by their favourite bands. Since the day they formed they have played many gigs, each time playing their hearts out regardless of place and audience. The Just Like Her philosophy is to play anywhere, anytime and to try and write the best songs that they possibly can.
