| − | ''48May'' was formed ''c.'' 2003 by [[Jon Austin]] (vocals, guitar), [[Jody Stowers|Captain Hook]] (guitar, vocals), [[Jarod Brown]] (drums, vocals) and [[Shannon Brown]] (bass, vocals). All were friends well before forming 48May. [[Jody Stowers|Hook]] and Jon went to Hamilton Boys' High School together, where Jon was head boy, and have been writing music together for years, while the Brown brothers were both well known on the New Zealand music circuit for their roles in bands such as [[Mama Said]] and Tadpole. [[Jody Stowers|Hook]] was singer in 90s band [[The Grinners]]. The others from that band went on to form [[Stadium]] and [[New Caledonia]].
