The first single, Stratosphere released in June combines post punk guitars with soaring vocals and relentless groove. Their second release 1+1=3, is a pop infused tirade against the non sensical occurrences in our world today. Explode The Tv saddle thought provoking lyrics to their brand of infectious post punk brit pop with their current tracks/EP.
