Their unique sound hurled them into the spotlight achieving a Radio 6 live session and playlisting, multiple festival slots including Borderline, Ypsingrock and All Together Now and sold out support slots with Chalk across the UK.
Press Quotes:
“The band unleash chaos with an instrumental so sick and evil that it’s massively enjoyable.” - Peter Martin, So Young Magazine
“Each plectrum pluck shivers the ribcage and mangles the guts like a queue of ghosts drifting through your body, beat by tremulous beat.” - Elvis Thirwell, So Young Magazine
“The noise rock quartet pitch into and lurch through this lively song, a Frankenstein’s monster of post-punk, grunge and––low-key––sludge metal. All sung with an unmistakable Belfast accent.” - Cyrus Larcombe Morre, Clunk Magazine
