Formed in 2007, Nylon Sky had immediate success, winning the Amphishock battle of the bands competition in the same year. In 2008 they made their Guilfest debut, and in the same year, made it to the national showcase final of "Surface Unsigned", in Birmingham, with Tommy V winning "best lead guitarist". In 2009, they again played Guilfest, winning rave reviews for their blistering performance, and being crowned "Band of the festival" by Surrey Ad reporter Joanna Till.
