Biography submitted by Bill Davro and the Popes.

A band that is happy in its hometown, is there one? Don't people start bands to escape the humdrum of the towns they were born and raised in? Don't bands dream, that one day, the music they make will take them away from, what has become to them, 'the norm'? Doesn't a band form and envision a life on the road or that one day it's members will relocate to 'that London' or better still 'break America' (where ever that is?, is it like Centre Parks?) and live in the New-Hollywood Catskills?

actually ignore everything I've just written and look at Paul Heaton (The House Martins/Beautiful South) he's content with living in Hull, one of the worst cities in Britain (some would have us believe).

Listen to Oasis' Definitely Maybe or buy a record by any band that has ever come out of Sheffield. These people are proud of their roots, proud to draw inspiration from the towns and people they were brought up in and with. It appears that it is the towns that make the bands/songwriters, it's the law don't argue!
