Members :
Matthew Frederick (Piano/Guitar/Vocals), Colenso Jones (Guitar/Bass/Vocals), Martin Webb (Guitar/Bass/Vocals), James Bennetts (Drums/Vocals)

Their debut album 鈥楬ebron鈥� is a wonderfully-produced affair, replete with evangelical pianos, emotive Hammond organ, yearning voices, and weeping electric guitars. They鈥檝e managed to transplant the musical heart of America 鈥� The Band, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Grizzly Bear 鈥� to their spiritual home in Pontypridd without missing a beat.
