and as heard as Record Of The Week 
on Shaun Keaveny's BBC 6Music Show.

... As well as seeing their debut album release and numerous live UK shows, 2012 was a busy year for the band – culminating in a live session broadcast on Sky TV’s prime time Loaded TV show.

Their exhilarating live shows have gained them a reputation as one of “one of the most exciting bands to surface from the UK this year” (This Is Fake DIY), and 2013 will see further touring along with a number of UK festival appearances already agreed.

The deep and powerful distinctive vocals of Jack Kansas have drawn comparisons with David Bowie, Mark Lanegan, Jim Morrison and Matt Berninger of The National. Jack is supported by a toweringly-talented band, consisting of Adam Kilemore Gardens (bass), Chris Christianson (drums) and Frank Pick with his soaring and haunting guitar riffs.

'Done for Desire' was produced by Julian Simmons, whose credits include Midlake, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Ed Sheeran, Guillemots, and Goldheart Assembly. 

Watch a short documentary on the band filmed by a group of students from Northeastern University, Boston MA, in the run-up to album launch here & an interview with vocalist Jack Kansas on The Daily Star website here
