We are an indie synth-pop band featuring Sarah Heeley (lyrics/vocals) and Matt Culpin (music/production) based in Leicester, UK. We formed in 2006 and have gained a loyal, international fan base. Our early albums ‘53 Degrees North’ and ‘Wired’, topped album and download charts across Europe and won us prestigious live dates including supporting Recoil / Alan Wilder (ex-Depeche Mode) and Gary Numan at Postbahnhof, Berlin.

Spotify, Credible Sexy Unit & Update.Our distributor has informed us that due to unusual bot activity, our third album has been removed from all digital stores. This action was taken after Spotify flagged one specific track for an abnormally high number of streams. Unfortunately, we have no control over this decision, and removing the album solely from Spotify is not an option.However, the album remains available for purchase as a physical CD from our store, and we will soon be adding it to our Bandcamp store as well. We appreciate your support and will update you as soon as it becomes available digitally again.New song ideas are starting to flow between Matt and Sarah once again. It’s very early days, but the creative spark is definitely back. Matt will be sharing snippets of the journey and behind-the-scenes moments on his YouTube channel —so stay tuned for a glimpse into what’s brewing!
