In August 2009, it was announced that the lead singer, Miles Kane, left the Rascals to focus on a solo career and the group disbanded.

Kane later formed the band, the Last Shadow Puppets, with Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys.

Hailing from Hoylake (The Wirral, on Merseyside) in England, The Rascals began as a three person band in September 2007.

They were signed to Deltasonic Records and played their first gig as support for more well-known bands, including Arctic Monkeys.

Greg Mighall and Joe Edwards announced they were working on a film project with 'Awaydays' star Liam Boyle.
