Signed to Xtra Mile Recordings, the rising London five-piece have fast become a live favourite for their anthemic, chaotic shows – so much so in fact, that Songkick music fans voted them as Best Live Act at the AIM Awards 2017.

Debut album Together We Are Stronger was released in March this year, picking up acclaim for its powerful sonics and dangerous riffs.
