Owen said: "We made an album without really being aware of it. We'd started recording demos with Neal (Calderwood). Then got talking with a few labels. We continued doing demos with Neal. Then Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy) mixed the recordings and the next thing we had an album. It just happened. It wasn't like you'd expect having to spend a month in the studio or anything like that.

"The album is a representation of what we've been doing up to now."

'Buildings' melds rock and pop with their inimitable energy and kick-ass choruses and produces a thrilling 36 minute explosion of guitar-led cracking tunes.

They played at the HMV 'Next Big Thing' Festival alongside the likes of Marina and the Diamonds, You Me At Six, Ellie Goulding and Hadouken! in February. After the UK tour the band head straight out to the US to play the Belfast Rocks party at the SXSW Festival in Austin.
