Frontman Henry Camamile said: “We started this band because we all love music.”

He added: “No way did we expect to have so many amazing people connect with our debut record and for it to enter the album charts at Number three. We are so grateful and touched. Being among other guitar music in the Top 10 makes us smile and feels like it definitely ain’t dead. It’s been a lifeline that we could still chat to our fans and release music during lockdown. We want to be playing shows as soon as possible but it looks like it is still not gonna be safe to do this for the big dates on our Autumn tour. In consultati­on with our team, we have reschedule­d the November dates to April 2021. It will come around soon and we’ll make up for it at these shows.”

With album Open Up Your Head, the band’s songwritin­g has elevated, with Henry stepping into the spotlight as a genuine storytelle­r for his generation.

The album is an explosion of joyous indie rock held together to reflect topics such as his previous traumatic head injury, the anxiety that ensued, and resulting adolescent vices. In accessing those darkest and least comfortabl­e parts of himself, the record becomes one of hope for the band and fans alike.
