Each of them brings their own individual influences to create a melting pot of imaginative ideas. With Olly Williams and Tristan White sharing the role of rhythm and lead guitar maintaining Indie rock as our core, we are also tastefully defined by our horn section carried by Matilda Dickson (sax) and Matt O’Malley (trumpet) keeping the Jazz, Funk fusion alive in us all. Holding us all together is Ethan on drums, with a background in metal fusion/progressive metal he can't resist a cheeky double kick every now and then.
