Musical notes

The Militaries

After a lot of arguing, this Libertines-style band, from Bath, settled on the name The Militaries. They'd love to go back in time and perform at Woodstock, but they're currently partial to playing in garages.


Who are The Militaries?

Sam Walker on bass; Dan Butler on lead guitar; Tom Clemo on vocals; Luke "hooter" Treasure on drums; and Fred Clemo on rhythm guitar.

Where in Somerset are you from?

Bath

When did you form?

On a bus

How did you get together?

Sam, Tom and Hooter all go to the same sixth form. So we had bass, vocals and drums, but we needed a guitarist.

Butler used to go to the same school, and we remembered how good he was.

So all that was left was a rhythm guitarist, because we realised Tom could not play. So, we got Fred, Tom's younger brother.
