History

Formed in 2005, the band's lineup was brothers Luke (vocals, piano) & Dan Simpkins (bass guitar), and Harry Meads (drums). After the members went to university in London and built up a fan base, and were joined in 2007 by guitarist Tim Ayers. All the members had attended the same school. After gaining interest from several record companies they were signed by Atlantic Records.

In November 2007, they released an EP, Evil Girls. This was followed by singles "No Ties" and "Never Give Up". "No Ties" peaked at number 91 on the UK Singles Chart.

They toured as a support act for Paolo Nutini, The Fray, Supergrass, Elliott Minor, and Scouting for Girls, and headlined their own UK tour in 2009.

They recorded an album in 2008 at Grouse Lodge with producers John Cornfield and Youth, but it was not released.

On November 16, 2009, they announced that Ayers had left the band but that they would continue as a three-piece band.

The band cited The Beatles, The Eagles, and Ben Folds as influences.
