They celebrated the release of their debut single, ‘First Light’ with a number of acclaimed high-profile gigs over the November 2019 Goth weekend in Whitby, including the infamous Little Angel pub and the inaugural Goth at The (Whitby) Brewery. An exclusive live performance at the Whitby Rifle Club in December 2019 was followed with the release of the epic second single, ‘The Last Beat Of Our Hearts’, in February 2020.
