Biography

Peter Hackshaw (vocals), 
Craig Burnett (lead guitar), 
Dean Ford (guitar),
Jamie Carson (bass), 
and Tony Lewis (drums).

"It's simple rock 'n' roll vox'd by a Billy Idolesque frontman, with guitar shades of The Cult..." 

Retrofin are a 5 piece indie rock 'n' roll outfit from Essex and have been
together since November 2016, sharing a love for Commodore 64's, chopper bikes, Monkey Magic, all things retro... 
At this early stage in their career the band already has an impressive CV
having supported the likes of Alan Mcgee's Poptones signed 'Echelon', all girl rock band 'Mcqueen' (who recently opened for at Juliette Lewis and The Licks at the Bowery Ballroom in New York) at Herts university, as well as original Libertine 'Scarborough' Steve Bedlow's new outfit 'The IV's' at The Garage in Islington. 
The band performed to thousands of people at last year's Big Bang VW
festival at the Santa Pod Raceway, and has headlined at other London venues such as Brixton Telegraph, Pleasure Unit and The Ruskin Arms (birthplace of The Small Faces & Iron Maiden) as well as headlining a showcase gig for XFM Radio (sponsored by Peavey) @ fashionable nightspot 'Neighbourhood' in Notting Hill. 
Airplay on AIIR Radio, a TV interview with Channel 4's bedsitcom star and
presenter Dave Johnson and various podcasts and stints at the Dublin Castle and 333 Club have also helped build their following...
 The band has a huge range of influences from Pink Floyd to AC/DC, however Retrofin's sound itself goes against the grain of most bands currently on the circuit - Retrofin are not mods or rockers and are not trying to be the next Coldplay or Razorlight. You have to see this band live to understand what it's about.
