Already being described as the “soundtrack to summer” by DIY, ‘Understanding and Everything Else’ has received rave reviews from a whole host of press including Rock Sound (8/10 – “worth the wait”), London In Stereo (“an assured and infectious debut”) and Punktastic who hailed the duo as “one of the most exciting and unique bands to emerge for years”.
There’s a perfect opportunity to experience their heady, sunshine-fuelled punk for yourself as the band will be heading back out on tour this May for select dates with Beach Slang and Great Cynics, before travelling to Europe for a small headline run. Over the summer they’ll be making pitstops at The Great Escape Festival, This Is My Fest, 2000 Trees Festival, Truck Festival and Y Not Festival, plus a hometown show with indie punk legends Lemuria in Plymouth.
‘Understanding and Everything Else’ is out now via Big Scary Monsters.
