}}Cathedrals & Cars are an English alternative rock band formed in 2011. The group consists of Jack Stevens (vocals, guitar), Danny Robertson (bass, backing vocals) and Steve Long (drums). Since the formation of the band, they have released two EPs and one album on independent label Cemetery Bench Records.[1]

Formation

Jack Stevens met former band member Will Prentice whilst studying Music Technology at West Suffolk College in September 2010. They quickly started writing music together, and by 2011 formed an acoustic group under the name Cathedrals & Cars. Classmate Jack Hubbard joined the band shortly after they recorded their debut EP. They gained popularity within the local area sparking a considerable amount of gig offers.

After the EP being released, the band entered local music competition Bury Sound where they were met with praise from the Judges. They went on to be one of five acts that reached the final.[2] The band finished the event as runners up and local talent Lewis Mokler went on to win.[3]

Two years after the formation of the band, Danny Robertson and Steve Long joined Cathedrals & Cars as the full-time rhythm section. In 2015 Chris Stagg joined the group to become lead guitarist after the departure of Hubbard and Prentice.
