Bayonets

There are currently two artists with this name. 1 )Bayonets were a hard-rock/old-school emo band from Hereford, England. The band were Thom Craig (vocals, guitar), Mark Gibbs (guitar/keys/vocals), Matthew Money (bass/vocals) and Joey Frances (drums). Formed in the summer of 2008, three members of Bayonets including songwriter Thom Craig are still in their teens. In March 2009, Bayonets embarked on their first UK tour in anticipation of their forthcoming debut album, as main support for label mates Portman. The band then released this record, 'Wishes & Wishes', in April 2009 on Walnut Tree Records. UK magazine Kerrang! reviewed 'Wishes & Wishes' in its 25/07/09 issue. The album received KKKK and the magazine called it 'a glistening, towering gem of a debut'.

On the 1st August 2009, another new track entitled '..And I Think I Enjoy Conflict' was released as part of the Punktastic/Walnut Tree Records 'UnScene' Compilation CD - featuring other promising UK acts including Wolf Am I, Francesqa and more. The band went on to tour the UK extensively over the course of 2009, using these shows to test out new material that they would go on to record in April/May 2010 with Ant West from Futures. A single entitled "The Joke and the Damage Done", taken from this session, was released via a 100 copy limited edition screen print thanks to Pandy Cane Clothing on 01/06/10, accompanied by a tour which saw the band play their first Scottish dates. This single will be followed up by their second, self-titled album on 20th September this year via Idle Hands.
