OUR HISTORY
Created as a solo project by singer/songwriter Jack Thornton in 2008, The History Department has gone through various musical and lineup changes over the years.
Lately, the band consists of Jack Thorton (Guitar/Vocals) Miles Randall (Bass) and Matt Leslie (Drums).
The three came together in early 2017, after just finishing their EP 'Alchemy' released October 2017. With the use of spacey jangly guitars, distorted bass and aggressive drums they have crafted a unique and tantalzing sonic force to remember.
The three piece band brings a high energy and powerful sound with any show they play. The History Department keeps the crowd on their feet always asking for more. The musical genre description that best fits would be an Explosive Indie, or Rigid Indie; very attention grabbing sound.
"We don't fit in any box. We're everything you've ever known and everything you've hoped to understand. We are The History Department."
