Formed in Los Angeles by two Englishmen, lead singer Robin Goodchild says of his band, “We’re an English/American crossbreed… a hybrid if you will. We’re good for the environment”. Goodchild, along with fellow countryman Edward Shiers (drums) made the move to the States in 2002 where they found like-minded musician John Ransom (bass) “The chemistry between the three of us is unlike anything we’ve experienced before, it’s what we’d been searching for.” recalls Shiers. The new band disappeared into a broken down rehearsal space to emerge several months later with a sound of their own and a self-titled EP. The sound? Alternatively accessible, melodic and emotional, ethereal yet aggressive. Goodchild explains; “Our influences on both sides of the Atlantic set us apart from many of our British and American counterparts”. With regular air-play on major taste-maker radio stations, the speed at which the band has garnered interest has surprised even them. According to Ransom, their ‘grassroots’ approach to promoting the band has been very successful – “We’re developing an organic following of dedicated music fans, who love what we’re doing, and are encouraging and supporting us as we do it.”
