[1] The band formed in 2014 in Manchester, following the launch event for Steve Hanley's autobiography The Big Midweek, to which Brix Smith was invited.

Though their live set initially consisted of Fall songs they had co-written, this quickly expanded to include the new material which featured on their debut album.

[4] They performed four live sessions for fellow ex-Fall member Marc Riley's 6 Music show,[5] played the Latitude and Rebellion festivals and completed several successful tours of the UK.

Their debut album, Part 2, was financed by fundraising including charging £1000 to cook a meal, or £7500 to perform at a private function.

It received positive reviews in the music press, with Louder Than War describing it as "blissful classic guitar pop".
