The trio began playing gigs in 2007 and skipped going to university to focus on the band. “We weren’t sure it would work but we grew to love it.” “It was born of necessity at first because we didn’t know any other drummers,” says Alex. The trio initially formed a rock band with a drummer, but after his departure, the remaining members began experimenting using a laptop to generate beats.

Vocalist-guitarist Alex Trimble and bassist Kevin Baird studied music together and guitarist Sam Halliday was another childhood friend.
