There can’t be too many rock bands who can claim to have had to stop recording because their studio has caught fire, destroying all of their equipment in the process. And yet this happened to Cambridge’s Mallory Knox while making their second album Asymmetry at Moles Studio in Bath last year. They lost everything, having to finish making the record on unfamiliar instruments and under something of a cloud. It’s an event that fits with the band’s music, which is riddled with darkness, heat and drama and the flashing spark of blazing emotions. Certainly anyone lucky enough to see them blasting off at Maida Vale for Radio 1 Rocks (alongside Lower Than Atlantis) will have come away lightly toasted.

None of which harmed the album’s chances, which cracked the Top 20 when it came out in October last year. And best of all, the pun possibilities should more than make up for the loss of these treasured instruments, as the band can now claim to have been on fire in the studio, to have literally scorched their way through their new material, while creating a searing album so hot that it becomes physically hazardous.
