[edit] History

Chandler and Marriott grew up together in Matlock, Derbyshire, England. Chandler studied music in Liverpool, and Marriott in London. It was there that Marriott met the others and the band began.

After releasing their first music on white labels, they were signed to Ninja Tune and have released two albums so far.

Currently, Pest are performing live at various venues all across England. The band is also working on their third studio album, rumored to be released in late 2009.
