[edit] History
The foursome (consisting of two brothers, a cousin and a next door neighbor) began playing togther in their teens. After gaing attention in their home town of Dublin, ireland, the boys went to Vicenza, Italy. The band became local favorites and toured all of Italy for the next two years off of a trip which was merely supposed to last for several months.
After catching the eye of an american manager they moved their operation to New York, USA, and it was only a matter of time before they built a solid fanbase there, as well. they were noticed by several record executives and subsequently landed a record deal with uninhibited Records which resulted in their 2004 debut album, Lifesize
their next release, the fivesong EP Sleeping Dogs, came under the label Rock Ridge Music and was distributed digitally in late 2006. Their latest album,Fear & Desire was released in 2006 to critical acclaim.
