> THE MORE I SEE NEW LINE-UP AND TOUR DATES
Following the recent departure of long time members Gav and Spike, The More I See were at a crossroads and faced with the task of totally rebuilding and fine tuning their outfit. Founding member Gizz Butt saw this as a positive opportunity to put together a band able to deliver at the level required by his own high standards. The new members had to not only be current, with technical flair and ability, but also possess the same passion and drive that has become The More I See’s ethos.
The More I See is now proud to announce that the search is finally over. The new line up is Gizz Butt and James Cluer on guitars, Peter Ellis on vocals, Harri Wright on drums, and Drew Markwick on bass.
Gizz Butt had this to say on the new line-up: "We were seriously running on empty without a spare tank in the back!!! With one member down and another threatening to leave our fate seemed sealed. Then, from out of the blue, the Metal Hammer guys got in touch and asked us to perform at Hammerfest, I knew I had to pull it together. From then the pieces began to fall in to place. Drew came in on bass, Harri on drums and I’d always intended for James to be our 2nd guitarist. Thanks to all the people around us giving us support we're ready now. We have the Thrash Metal militia we've always been looking for and we're gonna embrace the live scene to show just what we’ve got. This is it!"
The More I See are set and ready to unleash the new chapter of the band as they make local, national and festival appearances. The first leg of the tour kicks off in their home town of Peterborough, supporting ex Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bayley, then gearing up for Prestatyn Wales for the sell-out festival Hammerfest (including Five Finger Death Punch, Devildriver, Skindred, Napalm Death, Iced Earth plus many more – http://www.hammerfest.co.uk/).
