Will and Luke met at school aged 12 and have been writing and jamming ever since. Their debut EP ’14:17’ was released in 2024 and was recorded at the iconic Rockfield Studios with legendary producer Dave Eringa (Idlewild / Ocean Colour Scene / Manic Street Preachers). To date, they have also supported The Royston Club and Jamie Webster; let’s see why:

An intro that makes the Arctic Monkeys sound like Real Estate eventually stomps into life via The Strokes and The Undertones. Smith’s feral vocal will evoke your favourite small vocal being shaken to its core among fellow sweat-ridden fans losing their minds!
