We are a group of school mates who made a band about 3 or 4 years ago and played every week in a garage just because it was lots of fun. We started off playing punk/grunge but then evolved to a more hard rock feel. We don't take ourselves to seriously and enjoy writing stupid lyrics, but we think we've got a really cool sound and hope that you agree!

Peter Pit relocated to Hobart in 2012, and played solo and a couple of bands before two members of the Hobart band Naked helped establish The Pits in Hobart.

Then Bill Dodd from Platypus Freaks joined in on keyboards to make the four-piece we are today. Big banging sounds coming your way. From our bedroom to yours! I hope you like the tracks.
