History

The band's first release was the Honey Records' 2001 "Beatin Planks" compilation album, which featured two songs by The Bandits: "Take It An Run" and "Free Me Rain." The line up at the time consisted of John, Gary, Scott and Tony, with Neil Crosbie on drums. The band brought in Swee on drums, and throughout 2002 auditioned for a second guitarist and chose Ritchie, who lived in Wallasey at the time.

The Bandits had their own club night of sorts, The Bandwagon, which became relatively popular and launched the professional careers of The Coral, The Zutons, The Hokum Clones, The Stands, Tramp Attack, and, of course, The Bandits. The club night was known for its wild west posters and stickers, designed by Scott. Bandwagon nights, mostly held at The Zanzibar Club on Seel Street, Liverpool, often sold out, and featured some of the days' most prominent bands, including The Libertines and others.

The Bandits signed a record deal with Warners, and released a succession of singles throughout 2002 and 2003, before releasing their only album 'And They Walked Away', after which they broke up.

John and Scott went on to form another band, The Pedantics.
