BAND INDEX<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Pete Chambers<\/b> (Godiva Rocks) this band consisted of former Coventry University students. Their music was a blend of guitar based harmonic rock that is hard to pigeonhole. Perhaps a cross between the Doobie Bros and the Eagles.<\/span><\/p>\n

About BAiT<\/b><\/div>\n
Coventry-based BAiT was an original rock band, which performed songs featuring strong and melodic harmonies and innovative arrangements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Originally formed in 1996, the band featured nine line-ups throughout its existence, culminating in its strongest line-up, featuring Chris Johnson (ex Cherry Stones) on guitars, Nick Nugent (ex State Of The Art) on keyboards, founder members Andy Pitcher on bass guitar and John Chivers on drums.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Their sound comprised driving guitars, vintage synth sounds, and a solid and tight rhythm section, while their songs had a contemporary sound, played against a solid, classic rock background.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Not In My Back Yard (2000)<\/div>\n
Shut Up And Take A Seat (2002)<\/div>\n
