The Leeds band have had a busy past two years, which started with the self-release of two EP’s, ‘Transitions’ and ‘Wake’ and has seen them supporting many bands including Blitz Kids, Funeral For a Friend, Polar and Lemuria. 'Wake' was met with critical acclaim from a host of reviewers describing it as everything from 'haunting and enchanting’ to a 'truly talented example of modern-UK-post hardcore’.

Following the two EP’s, their self-titled debut record was completed in two recording sessions during 2012 with Bob Cooper (Nai Harvest, Hawk Eyes, Ginger Wildheart) at famed Northern studio Chairworks. This received solely positive responses being described as ‘an encounter which is much more thrilling and invigorating than most other post-hardcore releases’ (Ringmaster Reviews, 8/10) and ‘a kaleidoscopic piece of art’ (Jolt Magazine) among many others.  It is evident throughout this newest album that the quartet have developed and found their own stand-out sound which is a live must-see. The debut album is available for ‘name your own price’ via the bands Bandcamp.

After uploading two of their singles from the debut, 'A Is For Arson' and 'The Fallen', to Puregrainaudio.com the band was granted some worldwide coverage and following this also precious airtime in an interview for BBC Introducing West Yorkshire with Alan Raw, playing several tracks from the record. The tracks ‘A Is For Arson’, ‘The Fallen’ and ‘Car Crash (In Progress)’ have been featured, showcased and playlisted on various online sites and have been given airplay from the radio stations South Leeds Community Radio and Sine FM in South Yorkshire.
