We have been categorised into many genres, but never only 1. On our journey to finding the "new sound" we took too much, had a few too many and ended up somewhere around whatever we are now. Like a 21st century list of genders, our musical fluidity knows no bounds. Through combining heavy folk instrumentation with elements of rock, funk, pop-punk, blues and dance, we have crafted a unique recipe for original music. Giving no time for break-up songs or long lost love, our light topic lyrics are our musical diary for present time life. After performing on the BBC Introducing stage at Latitude, our wake up call wasn't to stop but rather to grow. We now come full force with a new EP in our 6 member line-up. Naturally progressing from part of a drum kit to a full one, as well as added synth and brass, we release this EP as an indication of what may follow. Enjoy these 6 tracks, recorded by us, mixed by us and mastered by us. Homegrown original music in it's truest form.
