initially split in 2016 before returning three years later in memory of their late friend 'Big Stu' before heading on tour, and the remaining members - Kris Coombs-Roberts, Darran Smith, Ryan Richards, Gavin Burrough and Richard Boucher - are keen to create new music.
The group said in a statement at the time: "Hey folks, it’s with a heavy heart that we announce that after 20+ years, our singer and brother Matthew Davies-Kreye has decided to move on to pastures new going forward, and leaves with all our love, respect and gratitude.
"While Matt moves on, the rest of us have come out of our recent ’20 Years Casually Dressed’ anniversary tour with a renewed spark and desire to create new music together, for the first time in this lineup for many years.”
