A Brief History
Early 2005 the band self release their first 7" "Band on a Hill". After receiving plays on Radio 1, Radio 2, XFM and many specialist shows the record labels come knocking and after their first sell out gig at Ryde Castle on the Isle of Wight, and after much bidding the band sign with Island Records.
They then proceed to start recording on their debut album, which they finished late 2005 and everything is ready to start in late 2006.
2006 starts off promising with UK tours, storming performances at SXSW and support tours with the Fratellis. But with delays on the album being released, the Band and its management decide to leave Island Records and walk away with the album under their arms and a bunch of new songs were recorded they set about getting things in place to self release their debut album.
Early 2007, they have licence deals in every territory worldwide and release the record to worldwide critical acclaim and support dates with the “Who”. Their brand of the traditional rock/blues/soul sound draws slight comparisons to the genres finest and as soon as tours are finished, promotion is put to bed. Jim and Rob Homes start pooling together the new songs they have been working on and set about working on the ideas they have for Album 2.
November 2007 recording begins on Album number 2. The brothers have decided to write, record, arrange and produce the album all on their own at their studio Luka. The Album takes five weeks start to finish.
They enjoyed the Christmas holidays and in January 2008 begin the process of mixing the record and in February 2008 go to Abbey Road to master what will be Album 2.
This is Now
CDR copies of Album 2 are sent out to the chosen few, reactions are incredible! The blend of balls out rock music, the deep acoustic psyche and instrumental excursions go against the grain of the “current” scene, but everybody agrees it’s a potential future classic. Nobody is making music like this anymore, the genuine and honest sound a band create is truly a breath of fresh air for anybody who enjoys albums that have a start, middle and end as opposed to 2 singles and rest being filler.
It is only right that they enjoy comparisons to the classics such as Zeppelin, Creedance, The Who etc. but they are at the start of being the first Jackson Analogue.
A rare combination indeed of a brilliant studio band and an exceptional live band.
