Coma Girls
Like all good stories, Coma Girls history is a healthy mixture of fact, half-truths and almost fiction.

It was summer 96', Hickin, Mosley, and Reading sat listening to Oasis live at Knebworth, taped off the radio, drinking a couple of stubbies stolen from a stash Mosely's dad's used to keep in his garage.

Mosley suggested starting a band, 14 years later they made good on that promise.

It was the summer of 2012: They got together to knock about at the Tramlines festival, catch up and have some japes. Mosley, who had been a fully functioning pro drummer for some time had seen his beloved band, Tiny Dancers, break up, and various other projects turn his dreams of rock n’ roll stardom into a business like pursuit. Hickin had kicked around in various bands over the years, dreams of rock n’ roll stardom (albeit from a much further distance away) thwarted by erratic drummers and unpredictable singers.

The conversation got around to how none of the bands they saw were doing stuff you’d see on The Old Grey Whistle Test. Everybody seemed to be noodling around with Fisherprice keyboards, wearing knitted Christmas jumpers in the middle of summertime, and crucially nobody looked like they were having any fun.

As the sweet chimes of Tom Petty came ringing out over the P.A. they decided to start a band.

Roping Reading in on bass, despite him never playing bass before, was based on the rationalization that ‘if we’re gonna spend 4 hours in a practice room with someone, I want that someone to be David Reading’.

2 years of practicing every Friday night after work (and occasionally and begrudgingly on a Wednesday night when they had a gig coming up) they worked on getting a batch of songs together they felt confident in sending out into the world. The result, Your Enemies Are My Enemies, is a rock n’ roll record for sure, produced by another childhood friend and bona fide record producer David Glover (Slow Club, The Hosts, CA Smith et al)

Demographic
An Alternative/Indie band formed in 2010 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. We are a four-piece band consisting of lead singer/rhythm guitarist Billy Marsden, bassist/backing vocals Danny Pollard, lead guitarist/backing vocals Danny Hibbert, and drummer Andy Bassinder.

We have been called one of the best bands in Barnsley, playing original music in venues all across Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
Our sound is made up by such influences from Black Keys, Wombats, The Cribs and Arctic Monkeys which has helped us create our catchy lyrics and riffs’ using a mix of clean and distorted guitars and bass with amazing drum fills that complement the music just right.

In the past the years of forming, we have played some amazing shows such as local festivals; BOMfest, Coalfields and Live In Barnsley. Also at the release of our first EP, we sold out on the first night which was an amazing achievement for us. Since then we have released a Debut Album called '8493' which is now available to buy from us for £6, or visit iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, or Google Music.
