WE FORMED VISUAL OFFENCE IN NOVEMBER 2001 AS, WELL A BIT OF A JOKE TO BE HONEST. DEALING WITH BOREDOM AND THE FACT THAT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH HARDCORE AROUND, PETE (DRUMS), JOHN (VOCALS) AND I (ROB-GUITAR) DECIDED TO START A BAND. WILL (BASS) WAS SNAPPED UP AND VISUAL OFFENCE WAS BORN. OUR FIRST GIG WAS AT A CHRISTMAS FAMILY SHOW IN 2001, WHERE WE NOT ONLY REQUIRED THE DESIRED EFFECT, BUT ALSO REALISED THAT SOME PEOPLE LIKE HARDCORE AND BECOME FANS. OVER THE COURSE OF 2002 WE PLAYED NUMEROUS SHOWS IN AND AROUND NORFOLK, EMBARKING ON A TEMPORARY HIATUS IN SEPTEMBER WHEN WILL AND I WENT TO UNIVERSITY. IN 2003 WE'RE STILL GOING, ALTHOUGH THE GIGS ARE STRETCHED WHILE IT'S TERM TIME!
