Biography
Hailing from in and around the UK area of Essex, Magistrates have quickly become one of the most talked about new bands around. Forming in 2007, their ethos so far has been strictly DIY, with debut single 'Make This Work' recorded in guitarist Mark Brandon's bedroom on an old school 16-track and its accompanying video shot in the very same bedroom and directed by Mark's brother.
Within these ordinary surroundings, the hugely ambitious Magistrates are making extraordinary music. They're as likely to cite Prince and Michael Jackson as influences as they are Talking Heads and Bowie and they've taken the best bits from these most glittering of inspirations and come up with something truly distinctive and original.
