An oxford guitar-and-drums duo who play both electric (baritone guitar and stand-up kit) and acoustic (12-string guitar and cajon) sets, leaning into energetic, stripped-back rock. They released their debut EP 'ted ate keith' in late 2016, recorded at green room studios in witney. They've built a live following across the region, including a spot at the oxford city festival and a west country tour.

Oxford three-piece who call themselves punk because no other label quite fits, their songs are lyrically dense and driven at pace, with a raw diy energy. They put out the four-track album 'pulling rank' in 2017.
“intriguingly verbose punky pop tunes”
