Forming in 2010, Wille and The Bandits are band from Cornwall, UK, taking their inspiration from a variety of artists such as Pearl Jam, Ben Harper and Jimi Hendrix.[1][unreliable source?] Additionally, the band have played at festivals such as Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Greenman, Shambala and Greenbelt.[1][unreliable source?] The band was chosen as one of three top unsigned bands in the United Kingdom by the Daily Telegraph.[2] Edwards is sponsored by Anderwood guitars and received his own signature Weissenborn from them.[3][4]
