History

Prior to forming the band, Martin performed around Greater Manchester as a performance poet.[6] Some poems went on to form the basis of Cabbage songs, including Dinnerlady.[7] Broadbent was previously the drummer in Where's Strutter?[8][9] and Brahma-Loka whom Bill Ryder-Jones produced tracks for at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.[10][11] Guitarist Eoghan Clifford was previously the drummer in Mossley band The Fayre, a one time member of Twisted Wheel with past Bassist Stephen Evans and also worked with local singer-songwriter Danny Mahon.[12][13][14] Drummer Asa Morley has previously played with Storytellers.[15][16] In 2019, bassist Stephen Evans departed the band and was replaced by Patrick Neville, who also performs with Mossley band 'Yellow Brain'.

The band released a collection of their early EPs, called Young, Dumb and Full of..., in January 2017.[17]

The band released their debut album Nihlistic Glamour Shots in April 2018 which charted at No. 21 in the UK Albums Chart.
