Their previous single Cut and Run landed in Spotify’s Global Viral 50 earning over 500,000 hits, with following singles Quiet Room and Drive becoming favourites among top music taste-makers. The band released their latest single Masquerade in early 2017 and played at Glastonbury Festival on the BBC Introducing stage later that year.
