Roberts (drums). Their sound comprises of gritty guitars, overlaid with melodic hooks; generating anthemic-style ballads.
Their debut single, Down Every Road, “locks into a tight, restless energy, a track driven by fizzy guitar textures and a vocal tone that nods to early 2000’s alt-rock.” – Empty Spaces
