Tom, who is at Grimsby College studying music, said: "Our debut EP was recorded on a Mac laptop and is completely self-produced with all of the band members helping to write songs.

"We got microphones and amps together and recorded it in the back of an ice cream parlour on the seafront in Cleethorpes.

"We create songs by starting off with a riff and then adding in the guitar and drums, and play it over and over again.

"It can take an hour or several weeks to create a song – it just depends if we can get the song tight and together.

"My dad, Tim, got me into music when I was younger and we listened to Led Zeppelin together.

"When I was about eight, I saw School Of Rock at the cinema and thought 'I want to do that'.

"So I got my guitar at that age and now all I want to do is play music."

The EP is available from Twelve Bar Music, in Cleethorpes High Street, and Jades Ice Cream Parlour, on Lower Kingsway, and costs £2.50.
