They have been growing strong ever since with their debut album (Around the World in 1023 Bars) selling out within a year of release and playing festivals such as: Isle of Wight x3, Boomtown Fair, Rennes Ska Festival, Lifestyles Fest, x2 (Headline) Bognor Rox x2, Throughout the years they have supported the likes of THE TOASTERS, THE DUALERS & THE BEAT on more than a couple of occasions, and sold out headline shows in their hometown at Wedgewood Rooms.
