The Debut Album
OUT NOW
This album has been a long road. Some tracks find their roots right back to the beginning of the band, but the soil from which they stem is much much older. We pull over here to rest awhile and commit these songs to vinyl, hoping you enjoy them as much as we do.
We journey together. Tom Jane on Guitar & Vocals, Sam Burgum on Bass & Vocals and Hugh Butler on Drums & Keys, with the sound guidance of Andrew Banfield of Superfly Studios and the celestial gospel vocals of Kelly Michaeli.
Thank you for being with us along the way.

"a brilliant bluesy trio, serving up John Mayer-esque, gruff vocals mixed with the hip-shaking groove of Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. Although the band had an aura of indie, the vocals could easily sit seamlessly in the charts..
insane vocal clarity"
