4 boys from Cornwall making waves

Press:
“Full of Bolshy Spirit” – NME.   “bolshy, brash garage punk rabble-rousers somewhere between the attitude of early Cribs or Libertines colliding with the death or glory of the Clash” – GodsintheTVZine.   “A satisfying mix of classic punk, rock’n’roll and modern indie magic” – Dork    “we could be witnessing the emergence of another great British band. Jaw droppingly good” – Gigslutz  Plenty more where that comes from!

New year came around
And we all hope to hear the sound
Of pages turning to reveal where we are bound
Searching for the answers at the bottom of our glasses
We’ll be counting fireworks till morning comes
I wonder if this year will bring more songs that we can sing together
When we feel alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

New year came around
And we feel lifted off the ground
As if we know exactly which way we are bound
No need for the answers, we’ll just learn our little dances
While we’re counting fireworks and holding hands
I wonder how loud we can sing
No matter what the year will bring
We’ll never be alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

Flares colouring the midnight sky
Light reflecting off our eyes
Seconds passing by
I’ll hold you close and keep you warm
You’ll smile and kiss me in return
Excited to reveal all we can learn

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

We Stayed Indoors

Counting Fireworks

Let There Be Music

Lyrics:

I remember your tail lights, and the nondescript conversations, 
Trails of jet engines and walking to my door,
Would you be dead, if I’d said two words more? 

I remember the debris, and your faces lit like a rave,
Patterns of glass reflecting in the crescent moon,
A fine rain dripping down like a wound

And I don’t know what I’d do, if that truck had taken all of you,
I think the moon may disappear
But a fraction of a second kept you here

Well my little brother told me time is stolen,
And the wolves come for everyone,
But I wonder if the wreckage was an omen,
When it’s time, I think I, 
When it's time, I think I 

And I don’t know what I’d do, if that truck had taken all of you,
I think the moon may disappear,
But a fraction of a second,
But a fraction of a second,
Kept you here

Fraction of a Second
