Album Out and Album Launch


Our Debut Album Balance is out now! Massive thankyou to everyone who has worked on this record, to Rob Da Bank and all at Sunday Best for making it happen, to all the people who’ve watched our shows over the past three years and stayed with us.


To celebrate the release we will be having our launch party at CAMP Basement on Thursday 2nd June, with DJ Snuff, Jam Baxter and The Last Skeptik. You can buy tickets here or visit the facebook event page.



The CD version, complete with all the lyrics on a beautiful fold-out poster, can be bought online from Rough Trade, Amazon, HMV, Juno or Play.


It is also available to download from iTunes, Amazon, Juno, Play and many more…


We are very proud of the album, we worked with some amazing people on it! Thankyou to Mr. Dan, Rory Atwell, Bob Earland, John Dent, Kwake and Polarbear for helping us to make it what it is! And thankyou to everyone who has supported us so far. We hope to see you at the London show.
