After 4 years and approximately 809 line-up changes, the definitive Sunflies emerged in the Summer of 2009 as a power trio comprising founder and frontman James Scott (guitar and vocals), Matty "RocketBoy" Long (bass and keyboards) and Steve Mayes (drums), creating a sonic meeting point for Goth, Grunge, Dance, Indie and Classic Rock.

With influences that include The Cure, Nirvana, Muse, Joy Division, Young Knives, U2, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radiohead, New Order, Foo Fighters and early Killers, Scott writes from the heart first before the tunes are crafted with razor-sharp care and attention to deliver tracks that are shot through with edge, intelligence and soul. This balance is at the core of Sunflies: a desire to recognise and reflect every facet of human emotion whilst gazing dreamily at the stars. For every punch in the gut, there's a long hypnotic reality-shifting kiss.

NME has likened the band to Arcade Fire and Placebo, whilst others have used the terms "like a male PJ Harvey" and "Coldplay with balls!"
