WHAT IT IS: This British alt rock band is taking the States by storm. Their first official single, “She Said,” is currently impacting at Alternative radio and was the #1 Most Added song in its first add week. Last year, they made their debut opening the main stage at the U.K.’s biggest music festival, Reading & Leeds, and co-headlined a run of U.S. dates on the first-ever BBC Music Presents U.S. Tour, which was followed by a sold-out tour with Two Door Cinema Club. They are now going on tour again with key showcases at SXSW and as part of SiriusXM Alt Nation’s Advanced Placement Tour.
