Vocalist Lewis formed the group which also currently consists of guitarists Todd Morse and Kemble Walters, bassist Ed Davis and drummer Jason Womack, in 2003, and they have recorded together two albums, 'You're Speaking My Language' (2005) and 'Four on the Floor' (2006). The group, who have a hard rock sound, have won acclaim both for these albums, and their blistering live shows. Lewis is both a passionate and a feisty front woman, and the band's fans include the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl who drummed for them on 'Four on the Floor' when original drummer Jason Morris quit and who subsequently personally invited them to support him in front of an audience of 85, 000 at Hyde Park in London last year. These photographs were taken at a show at the Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms by Katie Anderson exlusively for Pennyblackmusic.
