What inspired you to start a band?
The city that we grew up in, Manchester. It’s hard not to get infected with music here. It just felt right to be playing music, and we wanna do it as long as we can.
What's your favourite part of performing live?
The anticipation in the crowd, the roar, that feeling and buzz you get from them as you play the opening tunes. That’s what it’s all about it.
Tell us about your latest release
Nosedive? Decent tune innit. The kind of tune that makes you wanna sit on a beach with the sun burning you to a crisp with a cold one in your hand. It’s good times.
What do you have coming up?
We’re playing a sold out show at Gullivers supporting Rosellas in July, it’ll be our first gig back in front of real people and it’s gonna go off.
Oh, and a cosmic EP is in the works, just you wait - it’s due to land towards the end of the summer x
