Scorpio Toy
3:17pm Wednesday 7th May 2008
Scorpio Toy are a grunge/hard rock band from Colchester, formed in April 2007.
The current line-up consists of:
- Nick Rogers - Vocals
- Steve Bareham - Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals
- Lee Parkin - Lead/Rhythm Guitar
- Chris Webber - Lead/Rhythm Guitar
- Chris Murray - Drum
Although having been together only a year, the band already have many gigs and achievements under their belt, finishing third in The Twist's Battle Of The Bands 2007.
Their debut EP 'We Couldn't Resist', containing 'We Couldn't Resist','Grey Day', 'Mama's Boy' and 'Out Of The Money', was released in the summer of 2007, and was given good reviews by all, gaining the band more attention.
From this point on, a great deal more songwriting has occurred, giving birth to tracks such as 'Rot Away' and 'Red'.
The band are hoping to record a double live disc within the next month, and plan to record another EP in the coming summer.
