And do you really understand?

Help comes for their debut album titled 'If You Wait' deluxe edition (2013). The band consists of Hannah, Dominic and Dan. The album reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Vocalist Hannah Reid and guitarist Dan Rothman are originally from London and met in The Ancaster Hall of residence at the University of Nottingham during their first year in 2009. Rothman saw that Reid played the guitar and contacted her to see if she wanted to collaborate. They were joined by Northampton native Dominic 'Dot' Major (keyboard, djembe, drums) a year later, after he began playing music together with Rothman.
They chose the name as "not only was it where we're from, but London is also so international and multicultural that it actually felt like quite a universal name in a way."
After completing their studies in the middle of 2011, the trio moved down to London to pursue a career in music. By the end of the year they were managed by Conor Wheeler who began promoting them. The band began by playing low-key gigs at local bars, honing their material. They soon found themselves noticed by a number of A&R people, and they were signed with the Ministry of Sound while Big Life took over the management duties in the second half of 2012.
