We are a rock band based in Manchester, previously known as The Empty Promises until we lost our drummer and Rythm Guiarist and decided to start anew. We believe music should not be constrained by genre and try and combine many different styles and influences in our music while keeping an old school rock and roll ethos, with killer riffs and catchy tunes. Lyrically we range from political to psychadelic. If this sounds like your kind of band, we want to hear from you.
