They’ve received radio play across the globe on 100s of stations and a mountain of enthusiastic reviews from the likes of KEXP, BBC Introducing, XS Noize, One on One Music and Amazing Radio.

On Little Mistake, Pete Thompson says – “This song is part fiction, part reality; it’s about a girl who – without really realising – destroys her life and relationships around her. When I wrote it, I was thinking about someone I knew back in my school days whose life took a bit of a sideways shift. All the promise she had was jeopardised by some bad life decisions. At the point she was on the road to recovery, I remember sitting in a pub with her and our friend group and her dad had to sit several tables away to keep an eye on her. Being younger we never really knew what she’d gone through in detail, wrong crowd, wrong place! I just remember thinking that it must be bad if you can’t go down the road to the pub without needing someone there to make sure you come back!”
