The South Yorkshire quartet — Nicky Smith (vocals), Rob Marshall (guitars), Simon Lindley (bass) and Scott Pemberton (drums) — are riding high on the release of their self-titled debut album. Produced by Paddy Byrne and mixed by Ulrich Schnauss, the album encapsulates the band’s anthemic sound and features current single “Hearts and Minds” as well as live favourites “We’re On Our Own”, “Serenity”, “Reference” and “Recovery”.
