A brighton band whose track 'wait til morning' was picked for small pond records' emerging vol. v, a double-vinyl compilation of acts from brighton and the surrounding coast. They pair 90s-style soaring vocal melodies with fuzzed-out guitars and walls of noise. They gig regularly at the hope and ruin, the pipeline and the green door store.

band · rock · brighton, england
Brighton rock trio with a heavy, raw sound that has toured the uk with royal blood and europe with blood red shoes. Their albums run from abstract figures in the dark (2016) through as blue as indigo and the perfume of decay to nets to catch the wind.
