Career
They have so far released two 4-track EPs, entitled The Total Collapse Of It All and More Of The Savage. They released a downloadable single, also entitled "The Total Collapse Of It All" in October 2011. Another promotional single, called "Sputnik" began to receive airplay in February 2012, in advance of their first album. A video for this track has been made.
These releases, as well as a string of live shows across the UK, have led them to rapidly gain attention as a hotly tipped up-and-coming band, receiving praise from Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music, as well as from a number of local radio stations and magazines in early 2011. They were selected by BBC Introducing to play the 2011 Reading & Leeds Festivals. They also played Split Festival in Sunderland, at the request of The Futureheads. Their track, "The Total Collapse Of It All", was chosen to be playlisted by BBC Radio 1 to coincide with its release on 3 October 2011.
Their first full length album will be released in Autumn 2012.
