Formed in Leeds in early 2006 by Owen Brinley (guitar/vocals/keys) and drummer Dominic Ord, Grammatics' have fused disparate musical and literary influences, to make cultured, artistic pop by their own elaborate rules. With the dancefloor bass lines of Rory O'Hara and the cut-throat cello of Emilia Ergin, they fuse a love of classic British art bands like Blur, Pulp, Radiohead and Suede, with an equal fondness for acts of a heavier, dancier persuasion: The Faint, Hot Chip, Queens Of The Stone Age.
