Info[]
Pattern Crysis were formed by brothers Ben and Sam Gardener and played a mixture of classic rock, metal, punk and grunge. They wrote a number of original songs, but played only covers live. The band split before getting a chance to record a demo in 1997; unable to find a replacement for Danny Jones and having spent all their money on drink (and other things).
Dan Johnson went on to play in a number of moderately successful local bands (see below). Sam and Jonny Ray played a few acoustic gigs as a duo, and Jonny went on to perform as a solo artist in Kent and London.
The band has never reformed. There’s still time…
