Band members include Aaron Buchanan (vocals), Laurie Buchanan (guitar and vocals), Tom McCarthy (guitar), Chris Guyatt (bass) and Paul White (drums) (formally of industrial metal band The Defiled). The band cite 1990s grunge rock influences and came together for first rehearsals in June 2016 initially with Kev Hickman formally of RavenEye on drums, this was followed up with a full UK tour alongside InMe starting on 17 October 2016 through to 23 October in support of The Man With Stars On His Knees album.
After departing Heaven's Basement in late 2015 Buchanan went into the studio to record The Man With Stars On His Knees. Many of the demo's were put together by Buchanan during his time in Heaven's Basement. The album was produced by lifelong friend and producer James Curtis-Thomas at Plus 11 Studios. "The Man With Stars On His Knees" was predominantly written by Buchanan in the United Kingdom with many of the vocals and song structures put together at the Reddington family home in Chambers Flat, Brisbane, Australia. The album features Aaron Buchanan (Vocals/Drums/Guitar/Bass), James Curtis-Thomas (Drums), Laurie Buchanan (Guitars/Vocals) and Ryan Woods (Guitar/Bass) and was tracked at Plus 11 Recording Studio in Boreham. The first single video, "All The Things You've Said And Done" was released on 12 October 2016 initially on Facebook, shortly after on YouTube and was released as a physical copy with a b/side "Fire In The Fields Of Mayhem".
"Think Soundgarden. Think Muse. Think power. And think of a band who can back up a big riff with an even bigger chorus." was a line used to describe The Man With Stars On His Knees by Team Rock.Hard Rock Hell posted "It's immediately obvious that Buchanan has seized the opportunity to strike free and plough a fresh creative furrow."Classic Rock gave a 7/10 review finishing with "Buchanan is back on his feet, and swinging from the heavens."Rob Halford of Judas Priest also commented on the band via Instagram on a photo of Aaron Buchanan and Halford together at the Hell For Leather exhibition in Parliament Tattoo, Finsbury Park, London in 2017 saying the band were "making waves".
