As a band they have a passion for contrasting sparkling cleans with atmospheric synths; Typically backed up by a driven climactic chorus and drawing from a wide range of influences, their alternative electronic rock sound is ever shifting and evolving by its very nature. The band released their debut 3 track single 'Meant to Be' in August 2016 and their debut EP 'A Different Light' in November 2017'

Highlights to date include supporting bands such as: Chasing Cadence + Junior, Elasea, Veridian, Echoic, Greyhaven, the Death Remains/Bleed Again and Core Of Io/Vrona tours. The three-piece have also enjoyed a number of hometown shows including a BBC introducing night at Purple Turtle, support slot at Sub89 as well as headlining the second stage at Readipop Festival. 'A Different Light' is available now via iTunes, Spotify, Google Play etc..'
