To date, they have recorded with Gareth Nuttall (The K’s / The Rolling People / Rolla) and played the Y Not and Isle of Wight festivals. Let’s see why:

Begging You

Porter’s guitars are so desperate to escape, it's enough to make you quit the day job and give him a lift!

Marcus Grimshaw’s vocals deliver one of indie’s finest pop hooks of recent memory. The rapid-fire ‘begging you / begging you’ summons almost forgotten memories of bands gatecrashing the singles charts and amassing legions of fans.

Lose Control

The band's tone is more reflective. They are searching for life's bigger answers. In doing so, they’ve allowed each other space to breathe and proved that indie classism is still something worth striving for.

The ‘ooooo’s give instant appeal, Grimshaw’s vocal building their mystique with its brooding intensity, and Porter’s solo the righteous pay-off it richly deserves.
