For the first two albums the band's line up was Barry Parkinson (guitar), Simon Morgan (guitar/electronics), Dan Kerr (drums), Steve Trenell (bass) and Jimi MacPhie (piano).
The first album, In A Forest Without Trees, scored praise from the media, including Rock Sound[1] AltSounds,[2] Exclaim!,[3] Punk News,[4] and Metal Hammer who gave them 8/10 review.
The demand was unexpected and the web servers hosting the album crashed after it received over 2000 downloads within four hours.
They were offered a recording contract with Deep Elm in July 2009, and the album was officially re-released on 7 September 2009.
Only two songs have been released from these sessions 'Not with a Whimper But A Bang' and 'Something of Summers Past', both songs are free downloads available via Barry Parkinson's label 'The Recording Industry Is Dead Records' The band's hiatus ended in March 2014 when they started performing together again.
