"without a doubt one of the most promising unsigned bands in the north east". - N.E.M.R. "the sound of stripped back dreaminess". - amazing radio The release of there debut EP 'Balance' in may 2010, brought critical acclaim to the band from the north east music industry with articles in Crack Magazine, NARC, Northern Line and The Journal Newspaper, and earned the band a loyal fan base in the reg...ion aswell attracting BBC Introducing. In June the band made it down from thousands of acts around the country to be named 4th best unsigned in the UK, with a final show at the 02 Arena, London.
