Hello! We are Scholars, four friends from Hemel Hempstead with a passion for progression. We’ve grown up listening to bands like Braid, Hundred Reasons, Death Cab for Cutie, The FaintandTears for Fears. When we write songs we tend to leave traces of influences all over the place. But hopefully what we end up with just sounds like…Scholars. We are Sam, ruggedly good looking, talents ranging from singing to yelling to playing keyboard (and all things in between). We are Chris, a bass playing, deep-voiced and serious man who can also speak French. We are Tom, broad-shouldered, athletic and prone to penning novelty Christmas hits. We are Mike, who hits things with sticks. So far, we’ve been lucky enough to play with fine bands such as Hundred Reasons, Canterbury, Tubelord, Deaf Havana, Young Guns, The Xcerts, Spy Catcher, Don Broco, Francesqa, Blakfish, And So I Watch You From Afar, Baddies and Dutch Uncles. We’re hoping to be in everybody's ears before music is made exclusively by robots in the not so distant future.
