‘I’m so excited to share these 2 new songs with everyone, I wrote them both over in Sweden with the same guys that did ‘Shine’ with me and loved every minute of it. They are both emotional songs for me and I’m so pleased people will get to hear them as part of the album now’…

“After our biggest ever year in 2018, our feeling for 2019 very much centred around this phrase of “More Than A Festival”. We’ve always been challenged by the physical spaces and the infrastructure in Wakefield; we’re not a city setup to host something like Long Division. But we’ve always turned that into a positive, making the festival an unusual but joyfully surprising experience.”

“The sound is raw and driving with vocals that can swell from a softer Noel Gallagher to the more shattered growl of Alex Turner or Julian Casablancas. These boys are garage rock through and through…This band rocks live” – Divide and Conquer
