Irish indie folk duo Heathers formed in 2007 around the talents of 17-year-old Dublin-based twin sisters Louise and Ellie Macnamara. The siblings' penchant for sharp melodies, tight, constant harmonizing, and punk-infused delivery caught the ear of D.I.Y. record label Plan-It-X Records, resulting in the release of their 2008 debut album, Here, Not There, followed by an American tour with like-minded punk-folk band Ghost Mice. They began recording their sophomore effort in early 2010. ~ James Christopher Monger
