Their second album is the critically acclaimed and commercially successful II, with their stylized and modern take on the Great American songbook. The addition of vocals and drums gave the band their first top 10 radio hit with a rendition of the classic ‘Route 66’. Their current album Just One of Those Things is available now, featuring the songs ‘Almost Like Being In Love", the Brian Wilson classic ‘God Only Knows’, and the Jamaican Rocksteady-inspired original tune ‘Please Stay’.
