First formed in 2005, this indie band from Leeds, UK released their debut album The Golden Spike in February of 2009. I first saw their name mentioned in a short online article about Wichita Recordings (I didn’t bookmark the article & can seem to find it) who are the independent record label that signed Bloc Party, The Cribs, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a number of other now successful artists.
