The band was started by Chris Paterson after building a following on Instagram playing alternative rock covers.

"I was struggling for many years with anxiety and depression. Singing covers of my favourite artists on instagram helped me to heal. With the support from my audience and the seal of approval from artists Jared Leto, Goo Goo Dolls and Low Roar l was able to build the confidence to do what I had always wanted to do my whole life, start a band influenced by my musical heroes!" - Chris Paterson (Calm Attack)

The band have received radio play from BBC Introducing and Amazing radio. Their release "Demons" was featured on Spotify Editorial playlists "all new rock", "smells like stream spirit", "Rock your body" and "alternative rock's most precious gems". Their new Single 'This is our time" was recorded by Mark Morrow (Vistas, Retro Video Club) and the video was directed by Stuart Alexander (Saint Phnx, Del Amitri)

In the past they have played alongside other great Scottish bands such as Twin Atlantic, the X certs and The Twilight Sad.

The lyrics are inspired by themes of being your self, Love, Death, Religion and mental health.

"We want our songs to help people going through dark times in their life just as our favourite bands have helped us and we want to make music that makes people feel alive" - Chris Paterson (Calm Attack)
