Band history
They found success after their first single, "Radio 55", was played on a radio show based in California. Their songs were later played by the BBC in the UK. They are probably best known for songs such as "Questions & Answers", "Don't Let Go", and "Lazy". They recorded three EP's on Freelands Records and they later recorded with famous Liverpool musician, Billy Kinsley, on their track, "Lazy". After several tour dates and local gigs, they parted ways in mid-2007 when Adam Burke left to front a new band, New Blood Stories.
