The new shows come following the South London six-piece dropping debut album ‘Cannonball’ earlier this month. The album was given a four-star review from NME and praised as a “galley-smashing direct hit of a debut”.
“‘Cannonball’ comes on leaps and bounds from the raw ambition of debut EP ‘Eazy Peasy’ to create an album that leans into the experimental but never falls over into over-indulgence – just giddily playful while emotionally direct to make you to make you dance, smile tremble and weep,” it read.
“Here’s a band for whom perfection is just around the corner as they fine-tune the engine to reach a cleaner and more regular lift-off, but for now enjoy one of the most accomplished debuts of the year and a surefire Mercury Prize 2027 nominee. This cannonball makes one hell of a splash.”
