Bhuna formed in late 98 when Scott (guitar/vocals) and Jim (drums), both previously in Wild Garden, wanted to form a new band with a more direct approach to song writing. Gone was the lengthy, unstructured jams that seemed to feature a drum fill every 3 seconds. bhuna's vibe was all about structured melodic songs.

Gaz bhuna was the first to join up with Scott and Jim. Gary's rockier style of playing complimented Scott's more melodic approach nicely.

After a number of bass players were tried out, the one and only Geoff Rowe completed the line up. Coming from Sheffield's 'almost-made-it' punksters Etiquette, Geoff was the final piece in the bhuna jigsaw.

One of the things that make bhuna special is the interaction between the band members. There are no egos involved in bhuna. There are no band arguments and they don't shout at each other for playing a bum note! It's fun and it produces great tunes. Think The Ramones. Think Super Furry Animals. Think The Beach Boys. But don't mention Darius
