Oxford based The Ideas comprises of Gary S Creigh on vocals and guitar, Steve Hare on bass and backing vocals and Nick Aspey on drums.
 The band wear their influences on their sleeves – especially those from the Oxford area – with the Ride and similar 'shoegaze' sounds featuring strongly, as well those other Oxford heroes, Radiohead.

The Ideas audio-landscape is rich, with tonal and vocal inspiration present from early 80s post punk artists, such as The Cure and Joy Division, brought up-to-date with pounding back-drops, akin to The National, Interpol and Arcade Fire.
 The band recently recorded with renowned UK indie producer George Shilling – Frank Turner, Blur, Teenage Fanclub – and have their debut album planned for the later-half of 2020.

It sucks, but that's punk rock. We're The Crash Landings.

As the sole songwriter for pop/dance group Le Grind, my songs received critical acclaim, with praise coming from MTV, The Guardian, Clash Music and the BBC before our hiatus in 2019.

After a brief stint remixing tracks for other artists like Adam Joseph (famous for his Rupaul's Drag Race bitch tracks) I now solely concentrate on songwriting and producing for and with other artists.

My music has been featured on BBC Radio, Kiss FM, Heat FM, Gaydio and sync'd on various TV programmes around the world.

One of my songs is currently in the semi final of the International Songwriting Competition 2022.

Please use the social media links to contact and arrange a songwriting session. I'm am currently based London, UK.
