I've got two

I've Got Two :  a 5 piece rock band based in Warrnambool  that originally started out as a group of mates doing the cover band thing but broadened its horizons with the release of its first demo which contained three original compositions.Band members were: Davey Hill - Vocals, Wally Lynch - Guitar, Josh McMinn - Guitar, Marks Reeves - Bass, Andrew Porter - Drums
They wrote on the JJJ unearthed site : "The main difference with our music is the way we write it. All our material is written in a group situation which not only gives us great consistency from song to song but it also means our sound is influenced by so many different bands. Between the five of us our list of main influences is massive. Foo Fighters, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, The Used, Reel Big Fish, Billy Talent, Rage Against The Machine, The Rollins Band, Fugazi, Saosin, Story Or The Year, Refused, Fallout Boy, Metallica and the list goes on and on. So with such a large varience in what we listen to I'm sure there is something in our music to be appreciated by just about everyone. As far as talent goes the members of I've Got Two certainly don't fall short. On lead vocals we have Davey Hill aka Geoff....Long story. Davey has been singing for quite a few years in a variety of backyard bands. This is his biggest venture yet and has taken to I've Got Two like a duck to water. On guitar we have Wally Lynch. A result of over ten years experience in bands such as Toejam, Wally and Jodie and more recently Duffmen, this guy knows how to handle a guitar. Also on guitar we have Josh McMin. Josh too has been playing for many years with bands User and Bus weary under his belt. Give this guy a guitar and watch the harmonics squeal. Bassist Mark (MICK) Reeves has also stepped up to the join the I've Got Two line-up. Mick has his fair share of experience when it comes to music. Starting out many moons ago with User he soon stepped up to play bass with Toejam in the late 90's. After that Kozar Blip was formed in which he played a key role in laying down some beefy foundations. Today he plays with I've Got Two and continues with that "in you face" bass sound. On drums we have Andrew Porter, otherwise know as 'Portsey.' When it comes to rhythm Portsey is the man. Portsey has been playing for many years with bands such as The Gestalt Effect and The Circle K."
