SCSI was formed at the beginning of 1999 when the remaining members of Brown (Tim Hills, Dom Smith and Tim Mason) met superb guitarist Adam Goodfellow. The drummer Jeremy Norburn joined later and SCSI was born. As the band developed its distinctive style a new drummer was found in the form of Andy Hughes from Cirencester-based punk band The English Disease. With him came added flair and a new direction for the band – the standard had been set.
After the frontman Dom left,the band continued on with several different singers, and finally Matt Poole (the original vocalist and guitarist for aforementioned band Brown) was brought into the band. Si Messenger joined to play bass, providing a solid rhythm section for the band. Playing intimate gigs at venues like The Tin Can Club and the Two Pigs, SCSI felt the set coming together.
In 2002, SCSI went into the recording studio for the first time, resulting in a six track mini album (self titled). The final incarnation was completed with the introduction of Matt Murdoc as our new vocalist. A talented singer with a classic grunge edge to his voice, he has proved himself to be an immensely valuable addition to the band, both as a singer and a songwriter.
