The amazing people out there who write without realising they're poets.

Finding the filthiest fast food shops in various places across the country. Impromptu jam sessions. Off-colour humour. Thinking too much. Other bands. Tea. Moving bass amps stage right at all costs. Bemusing passers-by with our in-car harmony sessions. Longing for the road. Longing for our homes.

We're a bunch of middle class worriers in our early twenties, the everyday children of suburbia. Most of our worries, like those of the majority of our age group, are entirely inconsequential. We make music that reflects this, by writing songs about other things.
