When you’re a grunge band in the sleepy Shropshire town of Telford, devoid of indie clubs and rock bars, you have to make your own fun. The first night frontman Jake Ball, bassist Josh Taylor, guitarist Dom Farley and drummer Reuben Gwilliam spent together as a four-piece, they overindulged, as teenagers do, on their parents’ red wine. “It’s become known as ‘the night of the black sick’,” says Jake. “Somebody was sick on my face. That was the grossest moment of my life.”
