In London they play a show for John Peel and gain a lot of attention, resulting in their first record deal with the label V2, which is only responsible for marketing. In October 2002 they finally release their selftitled first album. An album sounding like traditional, classic, 70s rock. Rock'n'roll at it's best with good guitar riffs, lyrics about women and great guitar solos. A cover story in British NME later, they are the "next big thing" in Britain. After some touring they record and release their second album, "Outta Sight - Outta Mind", produced by John Paul Jones, the bass player of Led Zeppelin, in the year 2004. « hide
