Will Tattersdill was born in Birmingham, England in 1985. He is Ginger. In 2001 he took up the guitar to play for a post-rock group called the 6th of November, and a year later, boredom in a History lesson caused him to found the FaceOmeter project - which has slowly evolved into an acoustic live anti-folk meltdown versus the charming full band action of the same songs consigned to record. He is currently reading English at the University of Exeter, and when not thus engaged he also eats, watches Law & Order and Star Trek, plays computer games and insults people in as witty a fashion as is socially permissible. These are his stories.

Implicit in the more recent development of FaceOmeter has been Max "The" Jones, whose jammings with Will in June '04 became the Garrag Sessions. He has been collaborating with Tattersdill ever since, both Live and on Record.

Conceived by his parents in 1983 and born the subsequent year, Jones' career in music began early, possibly with the band Anal Culture, which also featured Jamie Hinds and Chris Shipley, with whom Jones would go on to found the group that became This Bad Blood Between Us, for whom he still plays Guitar and Bass. He also plays the Harmonica, Kit and Ukulele, enjoys alcohol, women, cigarettes, roll-ups, spliffs, biffters, and joints, and was once hospitalised after playing Little Fighter 2 for 39 consecutive hours without stopping.
