Sean Payne (drums and percussion) and Russell Pritchard (bass guitar). The band was formed in 2002, with all the members coming from Liverpool. This led to comparisions with The Coral, especially as they were both signed for the same record label, Deltasonic, and had the same producer, Ian Broudie.
