The band formed when Tom (Guitar) and Tom (Drums) met in summer 2004, Gemma added lead vocals when she joined just before Christmas of that year and Jim (Bass) completed the line up in early summer 2005.
The remainder of 2005 was spent writing and rehearsing original material in the studio and playing the odd open mic night along the way.
2006 has seen the band busy playing well received shows in Bristol, at The Louisiana, Mr Wolfs, The Croft and The Fleece, and writing new material.
With many varied influences, the band have developed an individual sound that is laid back but raw.
The tracks available for download were recorded and mixed at Toybox Studios, Bristol, during Autumn 2006.
Hey! Appologies if this is the second comment we've sent you recently...bit of a mix up in the bands communication :)

It's called Bright Lights and has four brand spanking new tracks to blow your mind. Please have a listen and tell us what you think and if you love it, buy it! :)
