Witness UK

Witness UK formed in Northern England in 1997, and began crafting sweeping, impassioned rock along the lines of Radiohead and the Verve. The group -- consisting of singer/songwriter Gerard Starkie, guitarist Ray Chan, bassist Dylan Keeton, keyboardist/guitarist Julian Pransky, and drummer John Langley -- drew rave reviews from the British press for their gigs and singles, as well as for their debut album, Before the Calm, which was released in the U.S. in mid-2000. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
