BIOGRAPHY:

Grangemouth based covers band formed in 2003 by Raymond Struthers (vocals), Alan Dougall (guitar), Larry Thomson (bass) & Gavin Morrison (drums). They continued to play up until 2005, by which time Thomson had been replaced by Larry Denholm (bass). The band then planned to cut a demo early in 2006. At the end of the year they announced their intention to release a version of Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" for charity. 2007 saw more live work for the band, which was not slowed down by Morrison leaving to concentrate on his other band Coriolis. He was replaced by Chris Paton (drums, ex-Bravado), however he returned for a final date in May 2008, after which the band split for good.
Summer 2009 saw them playing a date at the Grangemouth Homecoming Festival, before Struthers formed Fire It Up.
