Band Bio: When it all started, it was 2004 and four lads decided to form a band. They all knew each other from school, and had been friends ever since. After a few rehearsals and a few gigs, and a change of bassist it became 2007 and things really started hotting up. By 2008 they were playing major venues, being aired on radio, and getting great reviews. In the absence of a record contract with a major label, the band set up their own label Downhill Records, registered with Catco, as a medium to release their music themselves via the internet. They also began to host their own shows occassionally,entitled T:PARTY, with guest artists from the USA as well as the UK. They also developed a strong relationship with promoters VMAN EVENTS, who have provided the band with slots at The Ritz, Academy, Dry Bar and more. Their favoured recording studio - MJM - and in particular Mark Jones who owns that establishment has provided them with a wealth of professionalism when it comes to recording their music. Not ones for entering BotB type contests - they never win - nevertheless they made the National Showcase with Surface Unsigned 08 with a superb gig at Birmingham Carling Academy. Tom Robinson played them on BBC6 Music, and commented they were ones to watch out for. And suddenly it became 2009.
