The Suffrajets started life as the seed of an idea planted by two thirteen year old teenagers Gemma Clarke (drums) and Alex Gillings (rhythm guitar) by the time they'd hit eighteen that dream had become a stark reality. By nineteen they had signed to Sony Records, recorded in Los Angeles with Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge).
Two singles soon followed, Hold These Eyes and Distinction, both receiving glowing reviews from the press and praise from their ever-increasing fanbase. A three part Channel Four documentary titled 'We Are The Suffrajets' was made about the band, following them on the road and capturing the passion and enthusiasm the band had for their music.
It appeared, however, that everything was going too well as the band suffered a major tourbus accident on the M25 that left them bruised, battered and picking up the pieces. In the interim, Gemma joined Pete Doherty's Babyshambles. Gemma has since left Babyshambles and The Suffrajets are once more ready to roll into action.
