About 8th hour
In textbook fashion, the setting up of 8th hour began at university where guitarist/vocalist Daniel Marcus 'Lost without satnav' Grant met another guitarist/vocalist - Stephen 'Illegible handwriting' Moss. Their friendship trundelled along a bit like a milk wagon until Dan played some gigs on his lonesome whereupon Stephen took it upon himself to sit in the audience and drink warm beer.
After a while, Dan thought things would sound better with a band, so he invited Steve to pick up his vibrantly-coloured guitar and join him in songwriting and strumming. A rather nice hardcore metaller called Jason '10 megapixels' Woodward was charmed into playing bass for this semi-band and a couple of half-arsed gigs were played (badly).
After a couple of months, the need for a drummer hit Dan a bit like a craving for Red Bull, but not, because that's all he drinks anyway. Kyle 'Disruptive teenager' Kokott was packed into a case and shipped from South Africa to join fellow eloper Jason in the band. The four of them got together in a dodgy rehearsal room in Westbourne something-or-other and played some songs until it was time for the first gig and they realised that they didn't really know the songs that well, but the charm should cover that up anyway. The rest is history I suppose.
