Their second single of 2024, “Jump”, is about fearlessly diving into love headfirst—no matter the outcome. With a 2-minute burst of pure energy, “Jump” draws influences from songs like Dasha’s “Austin” and Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold Em,” combining catchy hooks with an unmistakable passion for life. The track has been embraced by BBC Radio 2,making their playlist alongside Absolute Radio Country, Smooth Country and Country Line Radio – a full house! This lead to chart success, including a spot in the Official Top 10 UK Country Radio chart. Topping that, their latest single ‘Out Of Your Mind’, the response song to ‘Jump’, was also playlisted by BBC Radio 2, Smooth Country, CountryLine & Boom Radio, and seems to have caught the attention of radio stations all across the U.K. ‘Out Of Your Mind’ shows the light and dark of love, the doubts that can creep in all wrapped up in a positive upbeat hit. Collectively the band call it a ‘love intervention’, “For who? well we can’t really tell you that!”
