Biography

Ricky Wilson's theatricality pairs with Nick Baines' keyboards for radio-ready Brit rock.

Employment (2005) packaged riotous singles and festival singalongs.

Later albums toy with synth colour without losing chant instincts.

Lossless streams keep horn punches, tambourine rattle, and vocal stacks vivid.

New Clear Radio streams curated rock-focused programming with quality up to 320kbps—ideal for hearing guitar-driven records with depth and punch.
