Brothers Ryan Dooley (vocals, guitar) and Jack Dooley (bass, backing vocals) formed New Education in January 2008 in Stoke-on-Trent, along with long-time friends David Cartwright (guitar) and John Bradbury (drums). Influenced by bands like Oasis, The Cure and The Clash, Ryan writes gritty, assured rock songs which the band describe as the sound of "the midlands calling".
