The band formed in 2002 when twins Mike and Pete Bishop met drummer Chris Mcconville while working at 'The Kings Head', a pub close to the local YMCA in Barbican where they were living at the time.

The band met manager Grant Box in 2005 during this development in their sound and look and would later record a self-released single called "I Don't Really Know What To Say".

On one occasion the single was played on XFM by John Kennedy prior to Paul McCartney's appearance on the program.

Opening track "City Lights" became number 1 on the playlist for Berlin's Radio eins station and the album found the band promoting and touring the album extensively, leading to a special event the band created to celebrate their 500th gig at the 100 club.

During the album's release the group played at the Benicassim festival (Spain) on the main stage alongside Oasis and also supported James Blunt in the UK and Europe.

At the end of 2009 younger brother Alex Bishop joined the band which created a wholesale change of musical style for the group.

Titled "All Lost Time", the album was in part produced and recorded by Mark Sutherland and Cherif Hasizume at Cafe Music studios in Bow, East London.
