The album will be preceded by 'Catch Me On The Fly' , the first single to be taken from the album, which is due for digital release on August 26.
With lyrics being compared to Bob Dylan, riffs to Rage Against The Machine, vocals to Howling Wolf and beats to Bonham, it's easy to see why the dynamic duo have been stirring up such a frenzy on the London scene amongst music press and fans alike.

The band's recent nomination for this year's Classic Rock Awards in the Best New Band 2013 category is the latest in a long line of achievements that the remar kable pair have already conquered before the world has even heard their full debut album , and sets them firmly amongst some of this year's most incendiary buzz bands including The Temperance Movement , Deap Vally, Walking Papers and Hey! Hello to name a few.
