I only really discovered them this week, and I’m spending every spare minute I have watching their interviews and live performances. Can a band really change your life?

@ToTheStarsToTheSea

I haven’t had that ‘feeling’ since the days of Nirvana and early PJ Harvey. I thought I was too old!

I had this reaction when I saw them at Glastonbury 3 years ago on iPlayer . Completely obsessed from then on . Saw them at Cardiff castle and their shows are something special .

I like Dancer and the video makes me smile! I think 6 Music got me into them

GodDoesNotPlayDice · 06/09/2025 17:16

Their drummer is unbelievable. He keeps the chaos together.

They're incredible live. I saw them in November and it's the best gig I've ever been to.

dreamingbohemian · 06/09/2025 17:42

Love them, love the chaotic vibe, reminds me of Nirvana too

Google their Tiny Desk performance
And Mother at the Bataclan

whoboo · 06/09/2025 17:44

Hmm listened to a bit, they are ok

GodDoesNotPlayDice · 06/09/2025 17:46

@whoboo

Honestly - just watch this one! You can’t say that this is just ‘ok’!! Pure emotion and stunning vocals.
