Let Winchester take you to another world of music, where all your undisclosed dreams come to life and all your cares and worries fade away. A four-piece indie rock band from Brisbane - Winchester have recently arrived on the scene with a bang. A big bang. Like, an atomic bang of sweet, sweet tunes. They were nominated for two Queensland Music Awards this year in the "Most Promising Songwriting Team” and “Schools" categories for their song Say it Brutha'. In the midst of recording an EP, the band plan to release more music soon. Stay tuned

Winchester formed many years ago through a common love of goon and jumping around. Our sound has been described as being like "a student party in a haunted house (...) the same haunted house owned by Jimmy Page on the shores of Loch Ness" and "a clown car being hit by a train, but instead of dying everyone just has a really good time". We are influenced by old 2Tone bands like the Selecter and the Specials, along with modern jumpy-girl-pop-rock bands like the Grates and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Our debut CD "Pub?" was released in a huge backyard party in 2009.
