We say:

Reverb drenched atmospheric stoner country/canyon rock. Alt-country foursome fronted by Michael Keane, guitarist/vocalist, Harriet Ferry on keyboards & vocals, Kane Tippler on drums & James Bennet on bass. The band began playing & writing together around 2011 and released their debut EP ‘Winter’ in 2012. A new version of ‘WINTER’ arrived on cassette & MP3 in 2014, and a full length debut, ‘With Knees of Honey in Goodbye Canyon’, followed in 2015.
