We Were Promised Jetpacks formed in Edinburgh, in 2003. The band played their first gig at their school's 'battle of the bands' competition, which they won. The four-piece eventually relocated to Glasgow. In October 2010 the band toured in North America to open for Jimmy Eat World. In July 2011, the band announced their second full-length album, In the Pit of the Stomach and released the track "Act on Impulse". The album was released on October 4, 2011.

I've been fortunate to see WWPJ a dozen times, if you ever have the chance. Go. Adam sings his lungs out every time.

What I would give to see them live!! Such a fucking solid performance.

For a nation with its' population size, Scotland used to over - achieve at football. Nowadays, Scotland over - achieves at music.
This may explain why Ian Cathro is slaying it on the skins. Poor fitba manager, excellent drummer.
