Craig and Brian originally made names for themselves as solo singer/songwriters, headlining numerous gigs and amassing over 5 million plays on Spotify.

They travelled the world supporting names like Bon Jovi, Daniel Bedingfield and Picture This.

What was originally planned as a two piece eventually became three, when during a trip to London, Craig and Brian dared their friend Andy to learn the bass.

Within 6 months Andy was a full fledged member of the group.

Wanna soak the Saarloos boys? Simple, all you gotta do is Presave our new single "Everything" on @spotify or @applemusic and if we hit 500 we'll jump into the (freezing cold) Irish Sea. DM us a pic of the song saved so we can keep count. Go, go, go! (Craig really doesn't want to get his hair wet ) Link in bio! ❤️

In 2018 the trio released their singles Changes which had 1 million streams within the first 10 weeks.

They then went on to play their own Irish and European tour, including two sold out nights in Dublin's Grand Social.

2019 was just as successful for the lads, with single Fire Is Love and a support gig with Gavin James on his tour around Europe.

They also announced their own tour, taking on a slot in Whelan's.
