The Fret

The Fret are an alternative and independent band from the Leeds DIY scene in Northern England and have been making music since 1999.

John Butler was there at the very beginning on lead vocals and lead guitar. Rik Stewart (ex-Cakey Face/ UNSEEN FLAME) joined the band in August 2007 on bass. October 2009 saw the final change in line-up to Ben Taylor on drums.
