The band have been fashioned by the Gilmore brothers, James (vocals) and Luke (bass), who added Tom Paddon (guitar) and Luke McConnell(guitar) earlier than their most up-to-date recruit Saul Bardsley (drums) accomplished the line-up. Drawing on influences each new and outdated (additionally taking within the likes of Kasabian, IDLES and DMA’S) they made it their mission to shake-up rock ‘n’ roll conventions and to face the problems of their technology head on. That ambition began with the early self-released tracks ‘Considering of Tomorrow’ and ‘Candy Lullaby’ earlier than intensifying with the double A-side single ‘No Violence // Present Me’
