The Watchmakers are a Neo-Psychedelic band based in Manchester, England. Originally formed by Brothers Rich (Guitar, Vox) and Ian Maitland (Drums) – they took inspiration from classic '60s rock n roll alongside more post-modern influences such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre, BRMC, Primal Scream and The Verve before adding Adam Lewis (Guitar / Keys) & Chris Lyons (Bass) to the line up in 2012.
Although their influences are transparent they have created a distinctive identity using a variety of sounds including Indian drones, reverse guitar and modern day synthesisers.
