Composed of Justin Hayward-Young (known professionally as Justin Young), Árni Árnason (bass), Pete Robertson (drums) and Freddie Cowan (guitar and younger brother of Tom Cowan from the Horrors ), the band was initially formed by Young and Cowan in summer 2009. After months of attempting to perfect their sound, the band uploaded the demo ” If You Wanna ” to YouTube in August 2010. The song immediately received praise from people such as Zane Lowe , who named it the ‘Hottest Record in the World’ on 18 August 2010. After the band’s first-ever London show, a Clash magazine article predicted that the band could help usher in a new era for guitar music.
