00:00Yeah, we actually can never answer this question.

00:02We have no real identity.

00:04We're identity-less.

00:05We are a four-piece indie rock band from Edinburgh.

00:08We're a bit from all over the place.

00:10I'm actually from Norwich.

00:12Harrison and Strun are from Edinburgh, and then CJ's from Hong Kong,

00:15so we've got an international vibe.

00:17No, we always say we're a safe space for the dads and kids.

00:23I would say our music's anthemic.

00:26We hope it's cinematic at points,

00:28but I think it's quite straightforward, it's quite pop-based,

00:30even though we probably would say it's indie rock,

00:32but I think the songwriting's quite pop,

00:34so welcome in if you like pop.

00:37We're fine with it.

00:39We all met in 2021.

00:42We, I think...

00:45You were there?

00:46I was there.

00:48I met them, I worked at a rehearsal studio at the time,

00:51and then joined the project,

00:55and then we kind of released...

00:58I think we released a single annually for, like, three years.

01:01Yeah, it's quite slow-moving.

01:03Yeah, and then we were just playing about,

01:06lots of Sneaky Pete's,

01:07and we just saw...

01:09We've just done our first headline tour,

01:12which was sweet,

01:13but it turned into only two dates because our van broke down.

01:16Yeah, it's more of a short walk.

01:19What was it we ended up calling it?

01:21A collection of shows.

01:23Yeah, it's just two shows, actually.

01:25A little two-day showcase.

01:27And then...

01:29Yeah, it released an EP in February.

01:33This is a strange order to tell.

01:35This isn't in chronological...

01:36It's not in chronological order,

01:38but it is the history,

01:40because it's not...

01:42It has...

01:43It happens.

01:44It's just happened.
