I met these guys on the Slaves tour last year. Super nice folk. Couldn’t work out what they were doing on a punk bill until night three, when suddenly ALL of their songs clicked into place.

They remind me of a mellow punk rock Proclaimers/Beach boys. There’s this sad nostalgia vibe that comes from Tarek, a heart-on-your-sleeve vibe. And he plays with the most knackered cymbals too. Bad man drummer/songwriter! We’ll still be listening to this one and “Demons” in twenty years time.
