With three UK no.1 albums, millions of sales and an array of international acclaim, melodic West Sussex duo Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher hit a melting pot of fiery rock riffs and danceable beats that is the result of a lineage that stretches from present day heroes Queens of the Stone Age to Led Zeppelin, and all the way back to early blues pioneers.

They deliver a wrecking ball of a groove cemented with a back-to-basics approach that is influenced by Daft Punk, Justice, and Philippe Zdar of Cassius. It is thrilling, visceral and original, with Kerr’s spiralling bass riff casting an hypnotic allure as it grows in intensity, while his vocals switch at will between a raw rock roar and a soulful falsetto, all underpinned by Thatcher’s thundering beats, his taut rhythms infused with groove-laden hi-hats.
