    Does anyone know much about this group. I heard one of their tracks (Undertow) on a U.S radio station and it sounds great

    Got their album 'The Fool' a while back. It's good but not brilliant; a few more choruses here and there wouldn't kill them! Would still love to see them live though.

    "Undertow" is definitely their strongest song imo, although "Elephants" is quite good too (but sadly not on 'The Fool'):

    I can't listen to Undertow without thinking of Nirvana's Polly. Not sure if it is an intentional homage to the track but it is eerily similar.

    The chorus sounds a bit like a part in Suzanne Vega's Luca. I like them though. Playing Dublin next month and Galway during the Summer. Fingers crossed for Cork.

    They got pretty decent airplay on indie shows a few months back when the album came out. Played a tonne of gigs but I see they are coming back..recommend seeing them.

    They're a bit magpie-esque in some of their riffs, but a pretty decent rhythm section.

    Same with me and nothing to add. They're good.
