Their grinding riffs achieve a mesmeric power through brute repetition, while their rhythm section produces taut, nervous energy and intense post-punk grooves in equal measure.  Following on from their incendiary debut EP’s; 2019’s ‘Collateral Damage’ and 2020’s ‘Body Of Itch’, the band garnered a fervent following and had support from key tastemakers across the media including Steve Lamacq, Jack Saunders, Tom Ravenscroft, NME and Fader. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band have now re-appeared following an extended period of writing and recording their highly anticipated debut album \u003ci\u003eA Living Commodity\u003c\/i\u003e, via YALA!
