A true British success story, in two short years the band have gone from nothing to greatness, securing a worldwide deal with Sumerian Records. The resulting heavy touring schedule has seen them amass an army of fans that bands going for ten times as long would be envious of. A testament to their success not just in the US, but back home in the UK, their very nearly sold out December tour serves only to whet the appetites of a country hungry for bona-fide homegrown heroes.
Guitarist Ben Bruce says of the upcoming shows:
“We can’t wait to come back to the UK. We’re going to be playing some venues we’ve never played before. We’re really looking forward to coming home and meeting an entirely new group of fans.”

I'm a self-confessed musical nut with an eclectic taste ranging from lo-fi indie to crushing heavy metal. I also make a blizzard of noise in my band Final Coil (recently seen deafening audiences in the midlands area). I also like cheese. Cheese is possibly the single greatest food (if one excludes bacon). Sometimes I write songs about cheese... but not often
