Hailing from North Wales, the band fully formed in Cardiff in 2017 Ianto (Vocals / Guitar), Gwion (Vocals / Bass) and Guto (Vocals / Drums). With a steady stream of releases since 2018 the trio turned to long time producer Kris Jenkins to help create an emotive coming of age album Amser Mynd Adra looking at the adult life as the carefree abundance of young adulthood ones to an end. As Ianto explains “moving out from living with friends into the rest of your life, the fear of missing out, the every day existential crisis, the guilt that comes with not knowing what to do next, separation anxiety and a new way of living your life that makes it all the more difficult to go back to do what you used to do”.

Commenting on latest single Llyn Llawenydd the band explain: “place you can go with the people that matter, to get away from it all. It isn’t necessarily a lake, and the weather isn’t always perfect, but you’ll come home feeling better, thinking about it till you can go back again”.
