Imagine the Breeders fronted by Alison Moyet and that's a good approximation of this Manchester, England trio. They combine a melodic but combustible, bass-fueled bluesy cocktail with soulful-but-scarred vocals. Raised on an eclectic mix of of Motown, Al Green, scratchy blues, post punk and Blondie, Tracy Godding (vocals/ guitar), Janet Wolstenholme (bass/ vocals), and David Eric Galley (drums/ vocals) convey melodic, bluesy, soulful and slightly offbeat rock.
