Endtapes

Sitting pretty
Uptightly
The knots
Keep you at my side
Upstairs in corners
Eyes blink for the crawl
Up and out my beacon
Will choke if yours is taken
I dare 4 more lines

Hover thought
Mosquito
Bite down
My fickle hand machine
Surprises, meant for me
Up& out
My beacon will choke if yours is taken
I dare 4 more lines, 4 more lines

In this broken way, sorry on repeat just fails , always

Selloptape an end
To a story that is hanging
Over silence always wasted
Swells with every tear drop
Pulls my Threads
To kid gloves
Sellotape an end to this

Thieves
Years
Leaves
Knots
Bleeds
Burst
Keeps apart

Your such a
Honest fool

Hello all!

We’re writing to you from the United States where we’ve been playing some shows with lots of great bands including Cage the Elephant, Naked and Famous, Jane’s Addiction and Grouplove... much merriment to be had. BUT, we wanted you to know that we’ve not forgotten about the UK. Early next year we’ll be playing 3 very special, small & unique shows in London, Bristol and Manchester for #originalslive.

Full details to be revealed next year, but in the meantime you can reserve your ticket by click on the link below...

Also, we've updated the UK and European store with lots of goodies, including The Big More EP for those who missed out getting a copy on the UK tour. We've also 3 new shirts and we've managed to find some other old bits under our beds... to have a peak click here.

Okay, off to spot some alligators!
