About Me

Originally from St.Austell, Penzance and Norwich, we formed in Plymouth, but now call Exeter our home. Our songs range from the intimate to the epic, from delicate folksy finga pickin' to brutal guitar thrash. Local press have described our music as "sweeping melancholic soundscapes", and being "truly wonderful", which is rather nice of them. We have been recording our debut album with Max Heyes, (Doves, Primal Scream), down on the river Dart (devon). We are currently putting the finishing touches to a few songs after mixing some of the tracks with Alan Moulder, (Killers, My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Smashing Pumpkins), and Tchad Blake, (Dandy Warhols, Tom Waits). Keep an eye out for us gigging near you!

Shutters
