The pair are still in their teens 鈥 17 and 19, but were raised on their parent鈥檚 music - 鈥淭hat older music was ingrained to our memories, because that was what was played in the car since we were kids,鈥 says Matt. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we gained the love for that sort of music, all those bands from the 鈥60s, 鈥70s and 鈥80s, and then explored it properly on our own.鈥 Vocalist Mathew expands upon on the band鈥檚 influences: 鈥淢usically, our influences stem from greats like The Jam, Green Day, and The Sex Pistols. Sonically, we aimed for the band to reflect our adoration of the late 70s and early 鈥80s new wave/mod revival.鈥
