Originally, Charlie Says were formed by James, David and Jamie. Regularly playing with bands such as The Blackout, Kids in Glass Houses, Adequate Seven and winning numerous competitions, Charlie Says were relatively successful as young teenagers. In 2006 the band decided to separate and subsequently didn’t play together for just over six years. Coming together in January of 2012, Charlie Says are new on the music scene again. Adding Sarah James as the lead singer ( who also has enjoyed a successful past in the underground pop, punk and rock community) has drastically enhanced Charlie Says with her powerful and deep vocals. Differing from their past musical style, Charlie Says's sound is alternative, rock, and punk whilst retaining their uniquely tight, melodic and indie sound. With a solid year of songwriting/gigging under their belt, Charlie Says are now looking to expand their fan base and catch the attention of anyone who loves honest and original new rock music. Their main goal is to write and perform music that is true to themselves and can resonate and be enjoyed by as many people as possible!
