Background notes
Archive material and source history
Take Notice formed in London in 2005 with Tom Dockery on vocals and guitar, Joe Walsh on rhythm guitar, Chris Smith on bass, and Jonathon Atkinson on drums. Their music pulled from alternative rock, post-hardcore, and indie punk, with guitar work that could get intricate and vocals that stayed raw.
Their first album was called 'And We Devised A Master Plan'. Other songs from around that time had titles like 'No Flood Gates Can Hold Back This Disaster' and 'Scratched CDs Are Nothing Compared To Missed Opportunities', which gives you a sense of their lyrical tone. They were listening to bands like Fugazi, The Clash, and Radiohead.
The band's lyrics often dealt with social and political themes, which sometimes drew criticism. They also had financial trouble early on.
