A bass-and-drums duo that sounds like a full band through sheer force and clever signal routing. Mike Kerr's bass, run through octave pedals and split into multiple amplifiers, fills the sonic space of both bass and guitar, while Ben Thatcher's drumming is a physical assault.
Their debut went straight to number one in the UK and earned praise from Jimmy Page and Dave Grohl.

Why They Matter
