Maybeshewill are an English post‑rock band from Leicester, England. Their music is characterised by the use of programmed and sampled electronic elements alongside guitars, bass, keyboards and drums. Maybeshewill were formed in 2005 by guitarists Robin Southby and John Helps while the pair were studying music technology at De Montfort University. In 2006, they released their first record, Japanese Spy Transcript, on their own label, Robot Needs Home Records, with Tanya Byrne on bass guitar and Lawrie Malen on drums. The four‑track EP received positive press attention and attracted the interest of Nottingham‑based Field Records (also home to Public Relations Exercise), who released “The Paris Hilton Sex Tape”—taken from the EP—as part of a split 7‑inch single with Ann Arbor later that year. In August 2006, a remastered version of Japanese Spy Transcript was issued in Japan on the XTAL label (also associated with Yndi Halda and You Slut!), created specifically for the release by The Media Factory Group. Shortly after this, the band temporarily dissolved. In May 2007, Helps and Southby began working with drummer James Collins (formerly of Fight Fire With Water) and bassist Andrew Jackson, along with several guest vocalists and musicians, on an album titled Not for Want of Trying. The record was released on 12 May 2008 through Field Records and was selected as Album of the Week by BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens.
