New Zealand born guitarist/singer Sasha Carlson (Coshercot Honeys) is a serial vacationer. During one such vacation, he met Aussie born Toto Vivian (guitar/ keys/ backing vocals), and the two bonded over a strong love of life and music. Spending the summer in the idyllic setting of Byron Bay, the two soaked in the sun and spit it out into a bunch of well-crafted, neo-shoegaze, pop songs.

With summer coming to a close, Sasha convinced Toto to help him continue his vacation by taking a trip to London. After hanging out in the East End of London, they decided to make the vacation a permanent one. Joining up with Brit Thomas Beal (bass), they took up in a Hackney bedroom to self-record. Booked for their first gig, they had one problem – no drummer.

Flying their pal drummer Jacob Moore (The Checks) in from New Zealand a week before the gig, SPLASHH, named after a favourite childhood water park, got off to a furious start and has never looked back.
