Taking a nod from the Liverpool music scene that they grew up in, The Rascals have an ear for beautiful pop melodies and an instinct for psychedelic quirk, however there's a unique and compelling dark soul that underlines their spirit. Formed in May 2007, the Wirral-based trio of Miles Kane (guitar/vocals), Joe Edwards (bass) and Greg Mighall (drums), have known each other since their youths. After spending the last 3 years learning their craft as part of The Little Flames, and touring with the likes of The Coral, The Zutons and of course, the Arctic Monkeys, in September, 2006 they began jamming and writing new material as a three piece and there was born The Rascals.
