The four lads - aged between 23 and 26 - play their own original pop-rock music similar in sound to the likes of Feeder and Ash and have already performed successful gigs in the bright lights of Birmingham.

Drummer Jamie Ballard, who was contacted by fellow band mates Ollie Basnett, Ryan Lowry and John Cumella last summer after posting an advert in a practise studio to join a band, said: “We’ve done three shows in Birmingham, recorded our own album and we’re half way through producing a music video. Our first single will be released on January 24. Then we are doing a mini tour around the UK.
