The Band

Ben Gardiner (Vocals), James Armstrong (Guitar), Leon Calder (Bass), and Nathan Christie (Drums)

We’re Mixed Signals—four musicians each shaped by a different musical journey. Some of us discovered our love for music when we were barely tall enough to hold an instrument: banging on pots and pans at age ten, learning guitar at eight, or mastering the bagpipes at seven and performing in local weddings and events. A few of us were raised in families overflowing with talent, where drumming was just as natural as picking up a guitar. Others spent their early years writing songs and playing gigs in our hometowns, inspired by icons like Noel Gallagher, Johnny Marr, Liam Fray, and the funky beats of drummers such as Benny Greb. Despite our unique paths, we were all united by that undeniable spark—the drive to bring our music to life on stage.

Eventually, we crossed paths at university, where a one-off session gig showed us how perfectly our influences meshed together. The synergy was instant, and Mixed Signals quickly evolved into a close-knit band. Our music, fueled by the Britpop swagger of our heroes and the raw energy of rock heavyweights like Biffy Clyro, is defined by a passion we’ve each carried since childhood. We love writing new songs, hitting the stage, and sharing laughs along the way. We can’t wait for what the future holds, because we know we’re on this journey together—ready to make some noise as Mixed Signals.
