"dirty mouthed punk rock with a huge dollop of sweet stuff" Ultraxine doesn't do anything by the book. To this Brit-based trio, there is no book.

Or any other ears. Suddenly it all makes sense, right? Not to everyone. There was a band in Flint, Michigan, called Hyperxine who just couldn't cut the mustard. It all got too much for them, and they're currently gibbering in a tea-addiction rehab facility. But there's more to Ultraxine than hot drinks and quirky fun. First off, there's the fact that the 2 girls and one guy live in separate cities (Leeds, Manchester and London), and therefore must show the utmost dedication to their cause in order to simply exist.
