Missing Andy was a British band based in Essex and primarily influenced by mod subculture. After 15 years of playing together, the group announced they were separating to focus on individual projects on 20 March 2023.[1] They played their final farewell gig in hometown Braintree, Essex on 28 May 2023.[2] At the time of separation, the group consisted of members Alex Greaves, Jonathan Sharpe, Rob Jones, and Elliot Richardson.

The band's debut single "The Way We're Made (Made in England)" reached #38 on the UK Singles Chart and #7 on the UK Indie Chart in September 2010, following an appearance as semi-finalists on Sky1's television talent competition, Must Be the Music. Their debut digital-only EP "The Greatest Show on Earth - Act I" was released on 4 October 2010, with four tracks.[3] It is said to be part of a compilation of an unspecified number of singles. Missing Andy have also released three studio albums (Generation Silenced, Guerrilla Invasion Pt. 1 and Guerrilla Invasion Pt. 2).
