Their music has been described as electro swing with a mixture of early 20th century jazz and electro and drum and bass.[3] Their live shows and recorded music consisted of multi-genre dance music spanning blues, jazz, soul, funk and out and out electro pop.[4]
Their song "Fear and Delight" was used as the theme tune to BBC Three comedy Crims.
The project was retired on 20 October 2020 after Bruce published a status on The Correspondents' Facebook page stating that Cole had died unexpectedly of a pulmonary embolism a few days prior.[9][10]
The band was included in The Telegraph's top 10 Glastonbury highlights two years in a row[11][12] and has also been featured in Rob da Bank's 2-hour Electro Swing Special on BBC Radio 1.[13]
The music video to their single "Fear & Delight", directed by Naren Wilks, was the overall winner of Berlin Music Video Awards 2014, while it also won the award for "Best VFX" category.[14][15]
