Mancunian five piece who are currently causing a stir all over the shop with their take on life. Taking influences from Jane's Addiction, Black Sabbath, Tortoise, Swervedriver, Can, and The Cardiacs, the single was described by Jason of Gringo Records as "mental", which is as good a description as any. They're touring everywhere with everyone and are picking up interest from the big boys.
