About Me

"A band with enough joy and tunes to raise a smile from Scrooge"
Drowned In Sound. ( Full review )

"...a compelling spectacle, and that bit different from your average group of early 20's males sloping around with their six strings and leather jackets."
BBC South Yorkshire. ( Full Review )

We are a band currently based in Sheffield. We enjoy making, watching and joining you jumping with joy. We hope to do so in the near future.LOVE!
