Tom a.k.a NobbyBefore Matt 'Butch' Dean rejoined in early July 2002, Tom was the final member of the current band to join. He started playing guitar afer finishing his GCSE's at the start of Summer 2001. His first guitar was borrowed from his older brother Chris (fomerly drummer, yes drummer (he played both but is undoubtedly better at drums) of Malfunction) who left it at home when he went off to uni. This enabled Tom to be taught the basics by David then continue practicing at home. By picking up little bits of songs that he heard at the band's practice sessions such as intros to Blink 182 songs, (Dumpweed, Adam's Song) and Red Hot Chilli Peppers songs, (Otherside, Californication) the longer standing members of the band felt he was ready to be included in a song for the first time, this was The Unforgiven, Metallica, naturally providing the rythm behind David's lead. After more songs such as Fade to Black and other Metallica songs, the other members decided to make Tom a permanent fixture in the band.
