UK Country at it's finest
“It's funny, because people think of country as this all-American genre, but when we were in the Country Music Hall of fame, we took a picture of a sign that said that country music is rooted in the folk traditions of the British Isles.”
Nevertheless for their debut album GO GET GONE which will be released this year they made a pilgrimage to the heart of country music and recorded in Nashville.
“Nashville was a dream for us but it always felt slightly unreachable. I guess we were waiting to be ready, or for the right time, but one day it just… clicked. We didn’t have to wait. We decided to stop talking about it and just do it. We'd saved up a bit of money from playing festivals and we used that t to book the flights.
