History
Formation and early beginnings
The band came together when they were 14 years old and attending their local secondary school. The band grew from being a simple pastime as the boys won their final year talent contest in 2013 - performing a cover of Muse's "Knights of Cydonia". They played their first London gig at the Camden Assembly and penned a recording deal with Transgressive Records. They released their debut, Koso EP, in 2013 and produced their second, Miss World EP, by the end of 2015. [2]
2016-present: That's your lot
The band released their debut album through Transgressive in 2017. The album was made up of 12 tracks and received generally positive reviews. They worked with producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Bombay Bicycle Club) to record the album. [3]
