The band, comprising Chris, Kenny Cooper, Sandy Michie, and Dave Murrell. Their set features All the Original Hits and tracks from the three LP's they have released so far.
They have been cited live as an incendiary rock n roll outfit by Louder Than War.
Their first release 2015's Get Famous Ep went straight into the official TOP 40 singles chart. Followed closely by their debut album Take on Life (2016). 2018 saw them release the critically acclaimed Nowhere Land and last years Big City Dreams LP saw them take it on tour in the USA, Europe, and the UK. They scored a No 1 on the legacy Charts with the single All for nothing at all . And now in 2023 a brand-new EP Somewhere Beyond the Rainbow released on the Guns of Brixton record label.
Chris himself was described by Paul Weller as the best songwriter of his generation, by Uncut as 'savage as Townshend with a toothache and Vive Le Rock as creating, timeless song writing and understated brilliance! Hell take that.
