Give us a little bio about you as a band and individuals.
Starting off as a 2 piece (myself and Ste) we gained record label interest and heavy praise from BBC Radio in a short time span, We decided to push on we would form a full 5 piece band, we instantly got Andy (the drummer) involved as he was a mate of ours and was part of a previous band we were in when we were younger, we then found Luke and Mike from the local music scene and poached from from other bands. Since we got the full band together just over a year ago we’ve been touring the UK & playing sold out shows.
