The track, which is now out on all digital platforms, serves as the prequel to their upcoming EP Hardman Ponytail – a 20 minute musical rock opera which tells the story of a washed up actor named Tony Pale (famously known as Hardman Ponytail) as he deals with the brutal death of his brother Trevor. This is due to be released in February 2019.

Hailing from the Shetland Islands, this four piece ‘genre bending’ act are proud to stand out on an island most famous for its traditional music scene. Fresh from their live debut in 2016 supporting legendary rockers The Blockheads, they released their debut EP, titled Greatest Hits. The EP received attention in national magazines such as FourFourTwo, who proclaimed the song Back Of The Net as ‘the best Spurs related song since Chas & Dave’.

The group feature members of prominent Shetland acts such as First Foot Soldiers, Giant (featured in publications such as Prog magazine) and Trookers, who have recently received national coverage in various national newspapers and BBC Radio Scotland.
