By incorporating a wide range of voices including MCs, poets, historical speakers and singers into our music, we aim to occupy musical spaces with affirming messages, lateral thoughts and emotional journeys that help reconnect listeners with the humanity of others and fight the trend of dehumanisation in mainstream media narratives.

We believe that the answers to a sustainable future lie in prioritising the value of life over profit; that the success of our species has not been driven by ‘survival of the fittest’ but instead by ‘survival of the most cooperative.’ Our ability to act cooperatively to our mutual benefit, facilitated by our loving natures, is the true foundation of society. These beliefs are what we bring to every record and every performance.

Having cultivated both a devoted underground following and a few rebellious friends in high places, our tunes are played on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio One, Amazing Radio and many other independent stations across the world. We’ve been featured in The Times, The Guardian and The NME and many more. Every national radio play or bit of press coverage is a major victory for us, not because we’re after fame & fortune but because they help amplify the humanitarian perspectives in our music. We’ve managed to get the voices of James Baldwin, Lorraine Hansberry, Malcolm X and many other visionaries on these platforms from which they are otherwise totally absent, a bit like a trojan horse.

Apart from the social commentary in our music, we’re always keen to lend direct support to urgent causes wherever possible. We have participated in numerous benefit gigs for refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. We supplied a widely acclaimed remix of hip-hop duo Ceiling Demons for the UK CALM charity. We also released an emergency track to raise money for wounded civilians in Gaza during Israeli bombing raids in 2014 and more recently donated several tracks to compilations raising money for Gazans amidst the ongoing devastation.

On a local level, there were severe floods in Leeds a few years back that wrecked several rehearsal spaces and recording studios. These were hugely important to the music community. We took part in a benefit gig at The Brudenell Social Club (best independent venue in the North of England) as one of the headliners and managed to help raise enough funds to save all of those businesses effected. Most recently, we’ve applied for a grant from the council to run a music production workshop for underprivileged youths in our local area.
