The band burst on to the UK music scene in the Spring of 2022, releasing 4 singles and two EPs via the Reckless Yes label throughout the year. In that very short time they have become firm favourites of BBC Introducing, having recorded several sessions for them as well as playing live on air in the studio. They’ve also received repeated air-play from the legendary John Kennedy on his Radio X show 'Xposure'. To date, they've already clocked up over 100,000 plays on Spotify and physical copies of their two EPs sold out within weeks.

Live, their first ever show was at the prestigious Y-Not festival in July 2022, followed by a string of festival appearances including two of Nottingham's most loved venue based events 'Hockley Hustle' and 'Beat The Streets'. They closed 2022 with their first headline show, at London's Hampstead Arts Centre to a packed house. 2023 saw things step up a gear live with more festival appearances – The band returned to Y-Not festival, this time on the BBC Introducing stage and were invited to play the prestigious ‘Splendour’ festival in Wollaton Park near Nottingham. They then returned to the studio to record new songs that they been road testing throughout the summer to be released through 2024.
