Formed in London in May 2014, Reptile have quickly gained a loyal following on the capital's gig circuit. The band comprises the songwriting duo of Luke Cloherty (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Bill Gough (lead guitar, vocals), along with drummer Shez Graham and bassist George Conry. Reptile hold various individual influences – from punk to reggae to indie to heavy rock - and aim to revive the great tradition of English rock 'n' roll music being well wrought and well played with genuine energy, attitude and gusto. The band deliver songs that tackle issues surrounding both big and small p politics, as well as the well-trodden but often misrepresented and misunderstood area of romance. They paint a sonic picture of the city that surrounds them - be it Shez's tube train percussive alacrity, George's bass slides pushing along like the drink that runs through the city's centre, Bill's masterful, police siren-like lead guitar or Luke's dropped aitches and lyrics discussing “The Smoke” and “the bridge at Blackfriars” as a perfect jump-off point. Oh, and they like fun and stuff too.
