Never heard of them. Are they big in Europe?

I watched one of their videos. The lead singer guy sounds a bit like Peter Gabriel!

They're an English band with roots in the nineties. I'd never heard of them until Saturday when a friend mentioned them. Yes he does sound like Peter Gabriel!

Yes i have been listening to them for about 3 years now. Regarded as the UK's best progressive band currently. Their sound lifted in my opinion when Dave Gregory joined them on guitar . He used to be in XTC during their successful time. Their lyrics are very focused on english history with a dose of folk, rock, and some jazz.
