The idea for the band's name came to guitarist Gemma Thompson, whom she discussed with singer Jehnny Beth for nearly a year. Gemma Thompson says the band's name comes from books like Lord of the Flies, which she read at a young age.

The band was finally formed in October 2011 and played their first show in 2012 as the opening act for rock band British Sea Power.

Their manager, John Best, also manages the Sigur Ros group.

English newspaper The Observer wrote of the Savages: "The band is definitely not sexy, not funny and they are not going to roll in the mud like The Slits. But they are closest to the art… once offered by post-punk.”



Group members:
