Heffer

Biography (source: drownedinsound.com)
Heffer officially formed in the summer of 1996 in Essex, England.

Chris (vocals and guitar) and Jim (drums) had been left on their own after the singer and bass player from their old (cock) rock band split up. Phil was recruited by Chris and Jim to play bass because, well because they couldn't find anyone else. Chris and Phil were intent on becoming a (cock) rock band but Jim had other ideas. He convinced the other two members that he knew someone who could sing punk really well, and for some reason Chris and Phil believed him.

After borrowing some NoFX CDs off of Jim, Chris and Phil began to warm to the idea of punk themselves, and Chris began to write some punk tunes. This carried on for about six months without Jim's promised singer ever showing up. In an attempt to save the band, Chris stood in front of the microphone and began to sing, pretty badly at first, but he got a lot better. Heffer were known as 'Five Days Wiser' for about five days, after which, they became wiser and realized what a crap name that was, so instead they called themselves Heffer, and it kinda stuck.

In the summer of 1998 (after many gigs, practice sessions and living room recording attempts) Heffer finally went into the studio to record their seven track demo 'The Monsters of Cock'.

Following a year of occasional gigging, Heffer finally went back into the studio to record their next demo. However, lack of funds meant the studio had to be Chris's bedroom. Drums and bass were laid down in about three days. Then three months later Chris got off his arse and recorded the guitar and vocal parts. The new Heffer seven track demo was born, and was entitled 'demo'.
