Back in 2016, before they’d released anything, or, yes, had a name, the quartet were driving around in a car, on an adventure. Somewhere on this trek they made an unwise parking decision and got landed with a big, fat parking infringement. You can see it, if you want, re-printed on the cover of the self-titled 2018 EP. If you have a close look, you’ll notice that among the bureaucratic details like ‘Make’ and ‘Model’ there’s also ‘Body Type’.
