Formed in 2011, the band consists of the lead vocalist and guitarist Faith Holgate, along with a rotating lineup of talented musicians.

Their debut album, Girls Like Us (2013), was met with positive reviews and established them as one of the most exciting up-and-coming acts in the UK indie scene. Their follow-up albums, Wild Nights (2016) and Hot Slick (2020), saw the band refining their sound, with slicker production and darker tones, yet still retaining their trademark rebellious spirit.

They have toured extensively across the UK and beyond, playing festivals like Glastonbury and Latitude, as well as supporting bands like Sleater-Kinney and The Kills.
