[edit] Biography
The Band started with some jam sessions between Sebastian English and Isaac Proud, who later co-formed and left Souplessluc, as Latent Impressions. Shortly after Isaac's departure in mid 2004 school friend Steven Wishart joined Sebastian on bass. The following October Christopher Morrant joined on drums and they started writing and gigging. The next March Steve left leaving the duo without a bassist until the following October. This period was spent writing, rehearsing and recording the Too Scared To Speak EP, of which only 50 copies were made and were mostly given out as demos to venues in London and elsewhere.
After Thomas Rushton joined the band did a few months of heavy gigging and then went into the studio to record their debut album, Symbiotic, with producer Oliver Daffarn. Symbiotic saw its release on the 9 September 2006.
