History

The Bang was formed in 1999 by lead vocalist/guitarist Joshua Gregg and bassist Barry Sherman. The band went through various line-ups, including drummer Danny Girnun, who played drums on the bands E.P. Of Engines And Earthworms, recorded at Ian Osrins Digital Cupboard in November 2001, under the band-name 3Speed

In 2003, local producer Adrian Levi (brother of music video director, Daniel Levi), heard the E.P., and promptly signed the band to his indie label Chameleon Records South Africa (home of the South African band, Max Normal)

The Bangs debut full-length album, Shiny was recorded over 2004 and 2005, and was released in September 2005.
