Anyone know of them, or heard any of their stuff?

All four members of the band killed in a car crash in Sweden.

Radio 1's Huw Stephens described them as being incredibly promising

My daughter knew of them, but I didn't. I've just had a look at some of the live BBC stuff and even though it was a little raw, they had a nice sound and would have gone on to greater things.

Talent aside, this is very sad and I can only feel for the families, they must be devastated.

Reading and seeing the News I'd wager fatigue played a part in this awful accident
Rip, they seemed to have a decent sound going and were highly likely to make the breakthrough.

 

[Houchens Head]

Tragic loss for their families and friends. RIP guys

 

[Macca]

Never heard of them. Bloody awful situation though

They had a '2 door cinema club' sound about them but with a more interesting lead singer. Listening to an 'eye witness' account, it seems they were going quick when they came up to the bridge and hit a car that was waiting in line and got flipped over the barrier.
