"48May"

48May was formed c. 2003 by Jon Austin (vocals, guitar), Captain Hook (guitar, vocals), Jarod Brown (drums, vocals) and Shannon Brown (bass, vocals). All were friends well before forming 48May. Hook and Jon went to Hamilton Boys' High School together, where Jon was head boy, and have been writing music together for years, while the Brown brothers were both well known on the New Zealand music circuit for their roles in bands such as Mama Said and Tadpole. Hook was singer in 90s band The Grinners. The others from that band went on to form Stadium and New Caledonia.

48May have achieved fame and success within New Zealand, including a place on the New Zealand leg of the 2005 Big Day Out and Edgefest '05 tour, and four singles featuring in New Zealand's top 40 charts. They have also done support slots with Alien Ant Farm and Steriogram, amongst others.
