Background

Originally based in Fleet, the band formed in 2012. Their self-released single "Fears" quickly turned industry heads as the song grew to reaching half a million plays on SoundCloud within a matter of weeks. Following this, the band placed on Spotify's Top 20 viral chart, and were picked as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record'.[5][6]

The British four-piece have gone on to support the likes of Nothing But Thieves, PVRIS and You Me At Six, moving from opening the Big Top Stage at Isle of Wight Festival to headlining the Hard Rock stage the following year.[7][8]

With the release of their new single "My Heart", the band have enjoyed similar success, reaching No.1 in Spotify's Swedish viral charts and selling out their first London headline show at the Boston Arms.[9]
