The iconic track was even played on a 1998 episode of Friends, The One With The Fake Party.

While the band continue to release music, they haven't been able to recreate their initial success.
Fronted by Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayres, they dropped their last album in 2020, England Is A Garden.

"A couple of years ago this wouldn't have been the case and then even when it was finished it took a while to get it mastered and to get it into production because things change.”
