How would
you describe yourselves?
We're just four people who enjoy making music together and want as many people as possible to hear and enjoy it. In terms of genre, we're an indie band, but our songs are JUST that. We have songs that are more bluesy, as well as others that are a bit more edgy.

Who are
your main influences musically?

What has
been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
I think the mini-tour we did in the summer with Not By Design was a great moment. None of us had really done anything like that before, so it was a learning curve for us. Every night was an absolute blast (helped by Harry's impeccable organisation) and we made some great friends along the way.

And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
We've not really had any moments we'd rather forget. Any bad experiences we've had, we've just seen them as something to learn from. There's no use dwelling on the bad times!

If you
could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be
and why?
Probably our new single 'The Talent'. It's upbeat, dancey, but still edgy.
