What's the band's history so far?

For some, Britpop and the mid 90’s were pretty uninspiring, same old same old. For most, it was an explosion of great music, fabulous weather, the Beautiful game (Euro 96) and with Oasis, we had a small insight into what it must have been like to experience Beatle-mania….. the feel-good factor was back, and it was cool to play guitar again!

Kingsley and Stephen shared the belief that they too could create melodies that would have impact. As they embarked on a standard night on the town, Stephen posed the question ‘Kings, do you wanna be a rock n roll star?’... thus THE YEARS were formed.

They began to write and record songs thick and fast and eventually took to the road to gain valuable experience in front of ‘the people’, cleverly slipping in ‘originals’, which became very well received. A passionate and vocal following also evolved.

The start of 2006 earmarked the perfect time to take things forward and TWO became FOUR with the additions of Paul Heck and Phil Barlow, who both carry a wealth of creativity, knowledge and desire.
