About Me

Biography
We started out in the garage of a friend playing to sick horses. (True story) Music to us back then equalled nothing more than escapism and i guess to this day still does. We never set out to push musical boundaries and shake a generation to its knees. As people around us stood still we began to gather momentum. It didn't come over night or strike us down with feathers it just evolved. That was until we came to a point of clarity, and of course we had picked up our influences along the way which we proudly wear on our sleeves, but we decided as a group we would produce music that didn’t follow the rules of our classic predecessors and create something you didn’t just listen too. Our songs would flow to an unnatural rhythm that would somehow in time become a pattern that was learnt to be loved. We just didn’t want you to have the cake and eat it we wanted you to think differently about music and be excited and inspired to pass that on to others who showed willing. The mainstream holds only watered down versions of the legends that swim these oceans. Please just look a little deeper.
