The band have an album coming in early 2017 and tour dates/festival spots throughout 2016.

For fans of: The Drop Nineteens, Butthole Surfers, Th’ Faith Healers, Quickspace Supersport

"The sound of disaffected youth from Barnsley" Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music) “Sculie” is pretty quick, with an almost staccato feel to it. It’s fun, and definitely a hip shaker to get you moving – day or night – as the days get shorter." Impose "...full of noise and feedback, yet a beautifully melodic song starts to appear and creep out." Louder Than War "...fuzzed up, grooving and with a nice thick, grungey guitar sound. "Tori" is the slower, more wobbly of the two and you can hear the influence of The Butthole Surfers with its guitar effects. I also like the unusual intonation on the word "maybe" in the chorus. "Sculie", meanwhile, is a little more energetic and melodic with an upbeat rhythm section and more prominent trading of vocal duties. This works as a great introduction to the band for me and it bodes well for the future as I hear there's an album in the offing." Collective Zine
