About
Their carrier single Run was the most played British song in Americam airwaves, ranking at #22. It might be a stroke of luck, after being dropped from Jeepster Records and ended up signing for Polydor, and the merging with the band of guitarist Nathan Connolly that they wrote their first hit ever. But the band claims it might be a fluke or just plain talent that gave them the lyrical aptitude and musical intensity that gave them triumph in their third studio album.
