The Bishops

The Bishops are a British indie rock band from London, UK.

Mike and Pete Bishop (who studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design) are twin brothers and formed the band in 2002 when they met their eventual third member, Chris McConville, whilst working at their local pub, "The Kings Head", in Barbican. The band have released two albums internationally: 'The Bishops' (2007) and 'For Now' (2009). Younger brother Alex Bishop joined the band in November 2009 and since then they have become a four piece.
