Pencil Toes met in November last year, played their first show in their hometown of Hereford in January, and within the few months since then they have achieved more than most bands can even dream about. They were invited by early fans The Gossip to support them at their first shows outside of Hereford - Nottingham Rock City and Bristol Academy, both sold out to crowds of nearly 2,000, Steve Lamacq played their first demo on BBC Radio One, they have releases lined up on the Fantastic Plastic (Futureheads, Ash, Guillemots, Help She Can't Swim, Bearsuit, etc) and Xtra Mile (Million Dead, Rueben, Frank Turner, Dartz!, etc) record labels and a great team behind them... all before any of them reached their 18th birthday.
