Caretaker is an English three piece rock band based in Winchester, Hampshire, England. Their music combines elements from many different corners of rock music, including hardcore, post-rock, progressive and math rock and the band strongly aspire to the DIY ethic. Caretaker are well known for their influence^[1] and longevity in the UK underground music scene, and their infrequent and informal approach towards releasing records and touring.
