A distinctly modern rise to prominence, As It Is frontman Patty Walters first gathered a fanbase via video blogs and cover versions posted on his YouTube channels.

Now heading a quintet, the singer and his band locked themselves away in 2014 to write, craft and perfect material for a debut full-length, summoning forth the glory days of Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line and The Early November - days when heart-on-sleeve lyrical catharsis perfectly synergized with raw pop sensibility.

Discussing their writing process, Walters claims “writing as a band can cause a lot of conflicts and arguments, but for us, we feel it produces our best material.

“Once all five of us are excited about an idea, we know we’re onto something good.”

By that measure, there must have been plenty of excitement coursing through their attic base: Never Happy, Ever After is a corker.
