After taking 2001 by the balls with their first record
Finelines, a preposterously well crafted mix of MBV textures, Sonic Youth dynamics and Cure esque melodies they simply put other band to shame. From the opening electrical storm of
Alpha Waves through smash hit single
Always Your Way, the sublime genius of
Tongue Tied to the distorted-out drums of album finale
Under The Wheels it was clear that this band was something special. Bring on the touring! Three years of extensive headline shows and festival appearances as far a field as Japan and Australia meant that Som Wardner and co had cemented there place as an internationally acclaimed force to be reckoned with, as well as impressing fellow musicians such as Chino Moreno of the Deftones, amongst others.
There live shows have been lauded by critics; intensely dynamic and emotionally charged experiences. Shapes that multiply and smother you completely they are indeed one of the more vital bands of the new millennium
