It started as a solo project when I wrote a collection of songs around two years ago. I got Henry the guitarist in through a friend I used to work with to record some demos in late 2013, he ended up joining the band soon afterwards. Billy the bass player worked in the kitchen at Birthdays in Dalston when I was a bartender there, we used to play each other punk records while we were setting up and he volunteered his services when I told him I was starting a band. I met our drummer Martin when I was 17 and his band were over from Sweden touring the UK, he was working in Stockholm as a taxi driver last year when I jokingly sent him an e-mail about moving to London to join the band, he called my bluff.
