About

Forging a distinct blend of progressive alt-rock/pop alongside impactful messages, Vamoosery are far from your ordinary band. With enchanting female-led vocals, soaring guitar solos, and dynamic compositions, they evoke a blend that others have described as reminiscent of the likes of Evanescence/Paramore infused with progressive rock sensibilities.

The journey began in 2012 when they hit the stage for a “battle of the bands” competition under the name “Go.Rebuild.” Since then, they’ve been on a relentless quest to craft songs that are not only catchy but musically rich and diverse.

In 2015, the band marked their presence as Vamoosery with an original 5-track EP, now exclusively available at live shows. The following year saw the release of their anthemic take on traditional Christmas song, ‘O Holy Night’; and their popular single, ‘Running,’ debuted in August 2017, cementing their presence in the local rock scene.

Vamoosery embarked on their inaugural UK tour in 2018, and remained active during Covid-19, releasing lockdown sessions and a Christmas EP, all the while working steadfastly on their highly-anticipated album, ‘Moving Forward.’ A Kickstarter campaign was launched for the album’s release, raising an impressive total of £4,555, during which they unveiled their two new singles, “Archaeologist” and “Pieces,” accompanied by music videos.

After years of anticipation, overcoming setbacks, and unwavering dedication, Vamoosery since released two further singles ‘You Are Always Near’ and ‘Listen’ before the release of their 10-track debut album, “Moving Forward,” on November 3rd, 2023! The album is now available on all your favourite streaming platforms, offering a glimpse of the incredible journey ahead.

Vamoosery isn’t just a band; they’re a force of artistic innovation and a source of inspiration. With their upcoming album on the horizon, they’re poised to take you on a musical odyssey like no other. Stay tuned. 🎵✨

James (Guitar)

James grew up in the Lake District where his main outlet of music was singing in choirs. At 14 he picked up the guitar and later went on to study at Nexus ICA where he met the rest of the band! One of James’s key passions lies in the development of sound, tone and production.

Sheridan (Vocals)

The Londoner of the band, Sheridan is known for her powerful, high range vocals and has drawn much of her inspiration from artists such as Evanescence, Jessie J and Queen B herself. Sheridan has been responsible for co-writing many of the bands most popular songs and has recently begun work on a solo project. Impressively, she knows all the lyrics to Eminem’s Curtain Call album.

Joel (Guitar)

The main man of the band, Joel helped kickstart this whole thing, and a huge part of Vamoosery’s sound is down to his unique way of approaching music. Inspired by a range of genres and artists, such as Led Zeppelin, Big Big Train, and mewithoutYou, Joel brings a progressive twist to the band. As a solo artist, you will also find Joel experimenting with a lo-fi/folk sound.

Rich (Bass)

Having joined in October 2017, Rich quickly slotted into the band, bringing with him a huge amount of energy and on-stage presence. Although he initially studied drums, Rich now plays bass for both Vamoosery and Rifferspock, while also studying a bachelors in Law. His influences range from the likes of metal and punk to blues and funk! Weirdly, his favourite movie is “The Room” and he considers Tommy Wiseau to be the greatest of all filmmakers.
