Formed in 2015, the quartet – comprising Janine (vocals), Hamish (guitar), Jonny (bass), and Martin (drums) – quickly garnered attention for their dynamic live shows and Janine’s powerful, emotive vocal delivery. Their early EPs, such as “Hello! World” and “O.M.E.N.”, showcased their burgeoning talent and established a loyal fanbase eager for their full-length releases.
