About Speckled Band
Speckled Band are Graham Grant and Rupert Pink. Both are songwriters: Rupert is in charge of instrumentation and production while Graham, who writes the lyrics, is the vocalist. Speckled Band were originally known as The Simpletones and then as Captain Oates, releasing an album called The Dangers of Eskimo Loving. Now they’re reborn under the moniker Speckled Band: a nod to Sherlock Holmes, the inspiration for the track Three Piper. Influences include The Beatles, Scott Walker, Blur, and even the work of William Shatner. The Speckled Band debut album ‘Casebook’ was released for Halloween 2020. The album was created during lockdown. Since then, the duo have released a string of other singles including Roger Moore and Panina, inspired by the story of treacherous British spy Kim Philby. Our most recent releases have included the singles Dominion and Steve McQueen. The Spotify tracks were accompanied by a TikTok mockumentary and material on our website.
