These tracks turned up on the desk of one John Leckie (Radiohead, The Verve, Muse), who loved them so much he wanted to produce their debut album.
With Grimble and Leckie both offering their services, Undercut found themselves in the unenviable position of having two of the country’s most acclaimed producers interested to work on their debut album and no record label to release it.
