Intro

-based indie pop sextet that has carved out a distinct niche through a combination of high-gloss production and grassroots digital engagement. Formed in 2009 by childhood friends, the band's sound identity is defined by its 'infectious' nature, blending the anthemic rock of The Killers with the rhythmic precision of modern acts like COIN or The Band CAMINO.

Their career arc saw a significant pivot during the 2020 pandemic, where they utilized Reddit's live-streaming platform to reach millions, effectively building a global fanbase without traditional touring. Musically, they are characterized by 'stabbing' synth leads, 90s-inspired guitar textures, and a heavy emphasis on vocal harmony. Critical consensus highlights their ability to write 'festival-ready' sing-alongs that maintain a high level of technical musicianship. Their evolution from straightforward indie rock to a more sophisticated, synth-driven pop sound was solidified by collaborations with producer Andrew Maury, positioning them as a leading voice in the independent pop scene.
