Setting Youtube alight

Following on from our previous post with reviews from the Music Show, it seems that people are really enjoying our sound and especially our performance of Rise at The Music Show. This week Hot Press published this fantastic article about us.

“Their performance at The Music Show was a revelation,” Hot Press editor Niall Stokes says. “They put in a storming appearance, but the bottom line is that they have the musicianship and they have the tunes. Their sound is really contemporary and of the moment, but there is a classic pop sensibility at play too. They’re the kind of band that could have a string of hits, very quickly.”

We’re delighted that people are enjoying our music, thanks again for all the support and we can’t wait to play a gig for you again soon!
