Haunts, a British rock band based in north London, formed in late 2006. The group consisted of Banks (vocals, guitar, synth), Alex Woodcock (guitar, backing vocals), Gareth Grover (drums, backing vocals) and Mitch Mitchener (bass guitar, backing vocals). Their breakthrough came shortly after posting a demo online, which led to a support slot for Lostprophets. Haunts released their debut single "Low Slung City Skyline" in 2007 through Grand Recordings, which won BBC Radio 1’s ‘Fresh Meat’ competition hosted by DJ Zane Lowe. The band toured extensively and appeared at major festivals during their career. Haunts disbanded in 2009 following a UK tour with Sharks.
