About the band: Songwriters Joe and Tom hail from the little known county of Essex where they attended the same school and promised each other that one day they would be in a band. After a three year hiatus of musical incubation, and with Jon on bass and Mark on drums, that promise has finally been fulfilled. 2015 marks the start of a great career for this frightening and compelling foursome.
