CYTOTA was formed on October 31st, 2009 when Joby Fitzgerald and Harry Jennings met at a Fightstar gig in Shepherds Bush, London. Shortly after meeting, it didn’t take them long to figure out they had the right skills to form a band in which would show people how much music means to them. A little after two weeks later, Youssef, Harry and Joby met at the Madhouse rehearsal studios in Birmingham, and straight away began to write new material. November saw the addition of Ollie Pike to the band on bass and the band was complete.
