By this point Corbin's lyrics had begun to form a social commentary of university life, with particular references to what he saw as a startling class divide amongst fellow students.

McKoy recruited well-known London musicians Ernie McKone (bass), Carl Hudson (keys), Paul Jordanous (trumpet) and Tom White (trombone) to play on the four tracks.

By Autumn of 2012 the band had lost momentum, which resulted in Billy Farr's departure; his last show coming in November, where Eddie Piller offered Corbin the chance to sign to Acid Jazz.

Despite excellent performances during the recording process, the final mixes were not satisfactory and so began a frustrating period of six months, during which the band only managed a couple of spot-plays of their free download single "Lucky Lady" on the Craig Charles Funk & Soul show on BBC 6 Music.

The project was rejuvenated late in 2013 when Mitch Ayling, drummer in Essex soul band, The Milk, sent Corbin a remix he had done of "On Our Front Doorstep".
