The Vouch are an up and coming unsigned band from a small town called hednesford. They formally was a three piece acoustic band which formed in January 2007 otherwise known as TomIsKid untill two more members joined in July 2007. Late August 2007 the songwriter/rhythm guitarist left and this triggered the name change for the band to The Vouch.
I find The Vouch don’t fall into any easy genre but I would put them closest to indie/pop/rock. There unique sounds an catchy melodies are definitely a good factor. With each song sounding uniquely different there almost certainly not a boring band to listen to. The Vouch are a superb live band and there performances are of the highest standards. Normally keeping song standards on stage the same as on a professionally produced record is somewhat impossible, but The Vouch manage to do this to a tee!
The Vouch’s gigs are normally situated around the Birmingham, Staffordshire area. However they have played at other places such as Liverpool and London, and have future gigs booked in other areas.
