Percy were established in York in 1996 and still have the founding members Colin Howard (Guitars and Lyrics) and Andy Wiles (Bass). There have been several different line ups but since 2017 it has included Paula Duck on Synths and Jason Wilson on Drums.
Since the beginning the music has always been quite spiky and left-field, drawing comparisons to The Fall and Half Man Half Biscuit, bands which Percy have been very pleased to support over the years. Since the introduction of a synth player the sound is definitely now reminiscent of the best of the post punk genre.
