The Line-up Jim Knights (vocals, guitars, synths, programming), Scarlet (bass, synths, Programming).
The History The band formed in 2000 by ex-members of Elementary 4 Jim Knights and Lee Kinrade with bassist Scarlet. They toured the UK extensively picking up high profile support slots with bands like The Damned, The Faint, Lolita Storm and Rachel Stamp and released two singles, Ruthless Animation and Disconnected. In 2004 they signed to Human Recordings and released the Isolation EP before heading into the studio to record their debut album. Early in this process Lee Kinrade left the band and Scarlet and Jim continued as a duo. The album, Divisions Of Decency was released in November 2004. Modern Radio will be released as a download-only single on 30th May.
The Sound A mix of the up beat, theatrical, electro rock of Magazine and the starker pop sensibilities of their contemporaries Interpol and The Sneaker Pimps.
IF Recommends Divisions Of Decency, Modern Radio, Isolation EP, Disconnected, Ruthless Animation.
