The two piece, consisting of drummer Ben Wallbanks and guitarist Jonny Firth, deal in a particularly retro sounding brand of filthy garage blues recently been self-described as “The Black Keys on crack”. In reality, the lightning fast and intricate drumming style of Wallbanks melds into a delicious audio soup with Firth’s emotive blues lyrics and engaging vocal range, delivered with a side order of warm, energizing, fuzzy guitar riffs.
