Having formed in mid-2016, bassist Daragh O’Connor found himself in a bit of trouble in January 2017 with a headline slot booked in The Academy in March, but no band. Thrown together with not much time for auditioning anyone, the new quartet featuring Dan Wigglesworth on vocals, Steph Comiskey on guitar, and Shaun O’Brien on drums, began to quickly throw together a set of both covers and originals. 

After their debut show with this lineup, things quickly picked up the pace, with performances on the Main Stage at Dublin LGBT Pride, and the launching of their debut EP “Deadlines” in September 2017.

Following two more highly successful gigs in The Academy 2 as well as Academy Mainstage, the decision was taken to part ways with drummer Shaun O’Brien in January 2018. Paul Gleeson has since stepped up to the plate and continues to whack smack and slap the skins in a way no other drummer in Dublin can. With one show already played at the Academy’s Mainstage in 2018, they return in April to co-headline with Afterlife to Ashes, and 2018 already shows great promise to be bigger and better than ever before.
