The band star6ted in Hounslow Public Library where the trio (guitarist/vocalist Amit Sharma, bassist/keyboard player Kieran Nagi and drummer Ross Kenning) first worked together. Soon afterwards, they were linking rock with loops, beats and various oddball noises.

Taking influences from a variety of sources – including hip hop, orchestral, funk, electronic and jazz – they say their music is ‘alternative with a groove’. They released debut album Suite(s) in 2009, and are currently working on a second album, due out later in the year.

Now they’ve put out the single Teenage Eyes, taken from the EP Cut(s) which came out towards the end of 2010.

The trio of Amit Sharma (guitar, vocals), Kieran Nagi (piano, bass) and Ross Kenning (drums) got together in Hounslow Public Library where they worked, and discovered – quietly – a mutual love for expansive music, the sort that has no boundaries. “It’s alternative music with groove,” they say.

Their debut album, Suite(s), was recorded in a Shed…well, that’s what they call their home studio. It takes inspiration from Radiohead their ilk before flying off into improbably directions. This is progressively ambient music with a taste for the unexpected. This is to be released on November 30 by Wirebird Records.

If you enjoy the idea of rock music with loops, beats and a sense of improvisation, then download the song Radar for free at www.exlibras.co.uk/player.html
