The rock group was formed in May from the ashes of a Sheffield band and some recruitment advertising.

    Gareth said: “We’re fairly new to the scene.

    “Some of the other lads were in Indra before Jack-Knife so they know eachother from there.

    “Our singer just turned up to one of the practices after we put out an ad in the Advertiser and instantly gelled with us.”

    The boys jope to bring a sound they know everyone will enjoy.

    He added: “We play rock music, it’s not all too heavy, it’s got classic rock sounds in there, sort-of AC/DC, quite punky in places.

    “We’ve got a collective taste so there’s a bit of everything in there.”

    With a rapidly growing fanbase, the band can’t wait to create new content and put on more shows.

    Following their Sunday spot the band are booked in for a gig on September 4 at Corporation in Sheffield.

    Gareth said: “We’ve done one gig so far and we’ve been putting in the practice in so were all dead excited to play some more.”

    He said that two more songs were in the pipeworks for a September release — one called See No Evil and another he could not quite remember the name of.

    Though memory failed him on song titles, Gareth certainly hasn’t forgotten what makes his band unforgettable, adding: “There’s a great chemistry between the band both musically and personally.

    “Some of us having never met can just play a riff and the others just play what comes naturally and the sound seems to come out great.

    Gareth added: “At the minute were looking to push out locally and to expand from there.

    “We’ve put ourselves out on Facebook but we’ve got LinkedIn accounts and Soundcloud as well ,which is great for getting noticed when it comes to putting on gigs.

    “We’ll definitely get a couple of festivals in next year.”
