London, United Kingdom (1999 – present)

The Winchester Club is an epic instrumental post-rock band from London, UK. They were founded in 1999, by members of Chineseburn, End of Level Boss and Hangnail. They sound like “the last whisperings between Mogwai’s frail mother and Godspeed’s great-grandfather.”

The Winchester Club was founded in 1999, by Drummer Tim Spear. Originally assembled to perform as a side project at an all-day gig organised by country-rock band Chineseburn (of which Mr Spear and Mr Deeney were members), they were joined by bass player Harry Armstrong (of Metal bands Hangnail and End of Level Boss) and Guitarist Jonathan Morgan. The band assembled a set of long-form instrumental tracks. These were later recorded at Moon Studio in London, and subsequently released as the demo “drown little joys in work and distress”.

After a series of London gigs, the band returned to writing and rehearsing material for a full-length album in 2000. A year later they laid down the tracks that would form the basis for “BRITANNIA TRIUMPHANT”. Working in-between other band commitments and jobs, the album took shape over the subsequent years, despite being lost on two separate occasions. Having to revert back to the original recordings made for greater delays and re-recording whole sections from scratch. Nevertheless, the album was finally finished in 2007, and given a low-key release in 2007 on Mr Spear’s label, WHI RECORDINGS.

To celebrate the album’s completion, the band played at London’s Bar Monsta, supporting Virginia based post-rock band OSTINATO. For the gig they recruited a second bass player – Elena Jane.
