Biography

How long has it been since the nation’s grubby capital streets have had a band that called fans to their side like a group denim-clad Pied Pipers, a pint and a fag in one hand and a guitar in the other? Has the South gone soft in the face of the constant tide of anthems from gritty Northern towns? One might think so but for the emergence of The Cavaliers with their infectious sweep of indie-pop and charm-the-pants-off-you mentality.

The Salisbury raised Maff (vocals), Rob (bass), Brad (guitar) and Russ (drums) have adopted London as their home, settling themselves into the East End with ease and swagger after conquering their hometown’s two venues and finding themselves more frequently drawn to the city by constant gigging and a growing mob of followers.

Like any band, their history is littered with name and line up changes but it’s truly rare for a band to split up only to have the fickle fist of fate nudge them back together. Called The Kites, then changed to Mr Kite and back again, with Brad and Maff having a falling out, it seemed that the band were destined to fail before they’d achieved much. It was only when Maff returned to Salisbury from his studies in Bournemouth that the vocalist and guitarist patched up their differences and The Kites began once more.

    The bio needs to be completely re-hashed. It's a load of bollocks.

    Is there any way to make my rock-out sessions to Frameworks and 007 not add up to a bunch of scrobbles for some random English band? Is there another classification/artist name for The Green Machine?

    I like how all the similar artists are drum corps and not French rock bands...

    Who cares about French rock bands... The Cavaliers are one of the top drum corps in the world and are much better than some French rock wannabes.
