About Me

Originally from Leamington Spa, we’re now living and writing in London.
We love music so much it hurts.
We love our music most of all because it's our music.
We're not into pained boys with pianos or Christ-figure fuck ups for elitist scenesters.
We’re following a brighter star: we’re into universal truths relayed in glorious melody.
We're into GOOD TIMES!
