We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
...if you are feeling the need for a some fresh new music please visit our page and give our new EP a listen. We've worked really hard on it and had some excellent feedback so far and would love to hear what you guys think.
"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.
"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with great conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.
It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.
Check out my new video for the single 'Slow Me Down', it's pretty different from your usual 'rap vid', as I try not to take myself too seriously! Hope you enjoy the mutiple costumes, this vid was a bag a fun to make!
We just recently finished our EP and are so proud, all the hard work payed off! If you have a few minutes please give it a listen and tell us what you think :)

wish I played your venue...My apologies for taking so long to answer your request. Been a busy few
months of shows including returning from the UK tour. Thank you for
reaching out. Always looking to share shows, tour, collaborate.
Hey! We've been a little quiet for the last few months but we are very pleased to announce our new EP is finished and up on our myspace! 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 :)
