But the four-piece from Hastings still intend to press ahead with the summer release of their third album, they have announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison Cara Elliott (lead vocals\/guitar), Anna Coral Elliott (lead guitar\/vocals), Amy Catherine Elliott (bass\/vocals) and Abby Charlotte Elliott (drums) formed their band in 2005, when they were still at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things have stepped up a notch in recent years as they earned a growing reputation on the punk scene both in the UK and abroad, proving to be a fierce live act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were due to play in France, Austria and Germany next month, before embarking on a short UK tour in July and returning to Rebellion Festival in Blackpool in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a post on their social media accounts<\/strong><\/a> confirms that \u2013 like most other musicians \u2013 they have had to scrap their plans due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
