You released your latest single, ‘Walk of Fame,’ at the end of 2025. Tell us more about the song and the meaning behind it.
Walk of fame captures, and mocks the industry in a sense it feels like when someone is nepotistic or wealthy, they are more likely to have better opportunities in the industry – such as focus on me I’ll focus on you and the verses are rebelling against that view. Walk of Fame was recorded in 2024 as part of our singles project, with Walk of Fame being the 3rd since our last EP. It’s the rockiest single that we recorded in those sessions, so it really gave us a chance to crank everything up and go a bit crazy on it – we even put a string section in!

Describe the track in two words.
Explosive, cinematic 

What was the writing and recording process like? Who did you work with on the single?
We worked with Pieter Rietkerk of Chapel Studios, whose credits include Catfish & The Bottlemen, Slowdive, and Editors. He also produced our track and worked with us on our singles project this was the 3rd track recorded out of the 4th and it was the heaviest of the singles recorded which gave us a chance to crank everything up.  

Tell us more about the next single and what we can expect.
The next single is planned to be released early this year. The song is as described as our very own take on a 90s rock ballad. You can expect a longer run time with more twists and turns creating a kaleidoscope of emotions. The song will be accompanied by a full length music video, the track is truly epic and we are so proud of how it has come together. 

Will we see an EP or album in 2026? If so, what can we expect?
We have plans to go back to the studio in spring time and also loose plans to incorporate the released singles into an album with added tracks. We have hundreds of unreleased songs so material is not an issue as it’s just filtering them onto an album that would best complement each track. 

Do you have any live shows or a tour coming up or in planning for 2026? If so, what can you tell us about it?
We have a headline on the 25/04/26 at the Fulford arms in our home city of York to celebrate the release of our latest single ‘Walk of Fame’. 
We have plans for plenty more shows around the UK and hopefully the EU. 

Where can we buy tickets?

What else can we expect in 2026?
You can expect bigger grander shows showcasing a ray of our unreleased tracks around the UK.

Where do you see yourselves in five years?
We expect to see our selves having a bigger fan base across the UK/EU as well as regular festival appearances. We would also like to have multiple albums under our belt. 

What quote or saying do you always stick by?
We have always been a fan of the quote from Bjork- “If you want to make something happen that hasn’t happened before, you’ve got to allow yourself to make a lot of mistakes.”
Which we find is very true from ourselves and in the industry as mistakes can often lead to new understandings. 

When you are at a gig, what are five things you cannot forget?
