Adam Kidd landed a publishing and recording contract, and they were off. He'd always been in bands, and they often featured Tom Alty and Aaron Neville: a shared love of making noise transcended the usual limitations of genre. They recruited James Crump on drums, Adam Whittles on bass, and soon were having a wild time recording in nice studios and performing in scuzzy bars.

Fast forward to 2022 and the band began releasing the best songs of their career with the single Grandaddy: a perfect slice of power pop whose optimisitic chorus hook: 'We're never gonna give up on you'; masks weighty thoughts about militarism and national pride. The band have been releasing a series of new singles through 2023, starting with the epic 'Raised By Fools' a swung ballad exploring the dystopic future we might create by raising our children within polarised, combative, click-hate mindsets. Don't Know What To Do, explores the ennui, anxiety and absurdity of trying to pursue an arts career in contemporary Britain. Their latest release, Bad Smell, tells the story of a single mother who is unlucky in love.

With their second album, 2020s Punk Yacht, the band embraced a fully independent DIY approach: self-recording and self-releasing, which formed a blueprint for how they want to make music on their own terms. The current run of singles are building towards an album release in 2024.
