In between their day jobs as teachers, the band have been playing sweaty pubs, festivals and even a few European bar tours.

In 2025 the band will release their 2nd collection of songs recorded at Chem19 studios in Glasgow. The aim of this is to continue to create music that represent the energy they bring to live shows alongside their love of story telling, combining vintage production and driving up-beat melodies.

The band will be supporting these songs with a string of live shows with their classic rich vocals, soulful grooves and soaring horns. The band are hoping to grow their reputation for raucous, emotional, high energy live shows, forming an intimate relationship with their audience.
