History

Having started their career with the release of the single "Lost" in 2007, recorded and produced by the band and released on their own label. They have achieved national airpay on Radio One, Radio Wales and other British radio stations. They also featured on Radio One's "Best of Unsigned" podcast.

Early reviews include features on the BBC Introducing site stating "Essentially an epic but considered style, their music is effortlessly “large” with Williams’ vocals powerful & melodic” a feature on Music-Dash.co.uk [1] giving the band 4.5 out of 5 and Shakenstir.co.uk[2] "(the) band simply blow away, So much in fact that I want to play the whole of their EP on my Radio Slot and feature them here on ’shake’ Four songs of high calibre and a vibe that is akin to the first time I got an EP from a band called Coldplay"

Over the last 18 months the band have appeared on the same bill as The Prodigy, The Hives, Supergrass, The Holloways, Skunk Anansie, Bombay Bicycle Club, Blood Red Shoes and Pete and The Pirates, with a notable appearance at Taubertal Festival in 2010 headlining the after-show party stage.

Their music is available free of charge from various websites connected to the band and they are currently touring the UK and Europe building followings in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg & Portugal.

They are the first independent band to create a 360-degree interactive music video that is available on their website[3]
