    Artist description
    The band is a three piece made up of guitar, bass and drums. Our live show has been described as Jimi Hendrix meets Rage Against the Machine meets Living Colour. There is a great deal of attention paid to the songwriting, which enables each song to be its own creation, not a different version of the song you just heard. Continuely crossing musical genres, it is very hard to pigeonhole this band, the beauty of it is that you don't have to! The factor that remains constant is the intensity and the groove that takes you on a power-packed, soulful rollercoaster ride!
