Bancroft, one of the most promising independent bands in Ohio, delivers hook driven songs, catchy lyrics, and just pure fun in each one of their energetic live performances. Inspired by artists like The Beatles, Weezer, Third Eye Blind, Sublime, and early Radiohead, Bancroft's unique retro-alternative pop flavor has created a buzz that has people everywhere talking. Made up of members Andy Hutchinson (vocals/guitar), Brett Duffy (guitar/vocals), Dave Nemet (bass/vocals), and Mark Posler (drums), Bancroft is quickly gaining attention everywhere they go. Released in the summer of 2001, the band's debut CD, "Anywhere But Home," promises something for everyone. Whether the song is about love gained or lost, Bancroft gets the point across with meaningful music that incorporates every emotion from humor to anger. Some of the catchy fan favorites such as "Lying on the Floor," and "I Forgot" have been playing at college radio stations across Ohio. A truly explosive reaction has come from the fans for the energetic live performance the band puts on. Each and every show is stellar and has an immediate impact on everyone who hears them. Bancroft's fun-filled tunes have fans bouncing around the room whether they know the words or not. The band won the Creekside Golf Dome "Battle of the Bands" award, beating out 32 other bands in the spring of 2001, and has been featured at Ohio's largest charity event, Dance Marathon. Bancroft has inspiring plans for the future. They plan to tour this summer, expanding their already large and enthusiastic local fan bases, and building up their regional ones. Fresh new music is also on the agenda for this distinctive rock/pop band. With the help and support of devoted fans, this band's dream is becoming a reality.
