Formed in the Autumn of 2005 by lead vocalist Darcy Harrison and guitarist Graham Ward, the band moved through several incarnations in its early stages until drummer Sam Bacon, bassist/vocalist Hattie Williams and guitarist Darren LeWarne found their places within the band. These five friends, having all drifted into Brighton from various places across the country, have found a common ground in the escape from their small town upbringings. Telegraphs draw influences from the likes of Idlewild, Radiohead, Constantines, Hope Of The States and Jeff Buckley.

Here at earwax radio we love the Telegraphs, we played their first demo days after it was recorded and booked them for their first London gig at the Dirty South Bank Show.  Their download single This Is A Message was released in November 07 and picked up airplay on both Radio 1 and XFM with Kerrang calling it “a quality work of angular rock goodness.”

As part of the Artful festival the Telegraphs recorded an exclusive acoustic session for us at the Deptford Arms.
