If you like your retro, metro, dubiously hetero, smacked up, jumped up, mulleted, cosseted, fashionista, too cool, new school, pretty, shitty, processed, hydrogenated, reconstituted, fat-free, colourless, odourless, flavourless, 'I can't believe it's not rock n roll' leftovers (may contain traces of hair, teeth and eyeballs), then get yourself to an unmentionable fast food outlet and carry on pretending that what you're eating even knows what a cow looks like, because you won't like this band.

But if you want to taste something straight from the ground - raw, fresh, filthy and still alive - then come closer ...

It might well have been because he moved house, because he has a secret fascination of Postman Pat or simply because he evolved from a solo artist into a musical collective, but this Grantham-born Bradford-based singer/songwriter is here with his band to provide a range of sounds - from alternative country, to soul, rockabilly and punk, via the blues with a pit stop at the rock n roll school, topped off nicely with catchy melodies, great lyrics and lush harmonies - Like a juicy jam pasty that your granny used to make.

Coming together to play their first gig in 2012, the band then spent the next year writing and rehearsing, pooling all their influences and defining their sound with a limited edition EP released in January 2013.

All the subsequent live shows and rehearsals must have paid off as the band managed to knock out their eponymous debut album 9 months later in October 2013, quickly followed by their second album 'This Is The Life' 6 months later in April 2014, and are looking at a gig heavy next 12 months promoting them.
