Great name for a band
Simple Brick
The story
Simple Brick was formed in 2009, in a small suburban garage in Leeds, UK. The band's founding members, Owen Clarke and Felix White, who were childhood friends, started the band as a hobby, fascinated by the power of music. Owen was a keyboardist with a knack for catchy melodies, while Felix was a self-taught guitarist with a passion for soulful lyrics. As they honed their skills, they soon realized they had a unique sound worth sharing. They recruited Ellie Rose, a powerful vocalist from their local school, and bassist Zac Hanson from a neighboring town. Thus, Simple Brick was born. The name was inspired by the idea that something so simple, like a brick, could build something so complex and beautiful, much like their music.
