Definition are are band that were formed in the summer of 1986 in Witham, Essex. At the time they were an instrimental band and were made up of Tim Jackson (Bass), Jay Griffin (guitar) and Gary Conner (drums). They formed at their school (The Rickstones) and played mainly original work written by themselves. After a short time they locked onto an idea of the sound they wanted to produce so after replacing Gary with Tim's lifelong friend Neil Clark, started to audition for a keyboard player and a vocalist. After various members came and went they settled on the line up which still stands today.

Mark Long         Vocals, Jay Griffin       Guitar, Guy Turner        Keyboards, Tim Jackson       Bass, Neil Clark        Drums.

It didn't take long for them to arrange a welth of songs and booked into the famous Trackside Studios in Essex. There they were produced by the legendary Paul Page. They recorded a short demo made up with tracks 2 b the 1's and Flesh. It was meet recieved with lukewarm interest so instead they decided on another approach, live shows. The shows were well recieved and played a number of gigs around the country. However, soon after 1992 problems arose and the band split into two camps. Sound Over Sound emerged with Mark, Guy, Tim and former member Gary Conner producing a synth based funky sound whilst Jay and Neil recuited bassest Steve Perry and with various vocalists went on to form Def II, a hard rock outfit.

In late 2008 Definition reformed and with the five members back as close freinds, they are working on an album and are hasting a return to Trackside to record in early 2010.
