As teenagers, impressive from their debut show supporting My Disco, they threw together loud, abrasive no wave jams that were mainly instrumental and very youthful.
After a short period of downtime, they have recouped, added keyboardist Chrissie (Kissy Trouble Company) and bass player Yeo (Yeo & The Fresh Goods) to keep things interesting, and began writing melodic, exuberant pop songs with new instrumentation. The band constantly rotate guitar, drum, piano, accordian and trumpet duties.
The new 10" EP ‘BRAKES’ sees the band take huge steps forward from their youthful beginnings to tackle more song-based ideas, with a continued emphasis on clean instrumentation, but a greater willingness towards melody and strong composition, harmony and percussive rhythm.
