Suddenly enraptured with the rock’n’roll dream Steel moved to London where she met bassist DJ. The pair recruited keyboardist and guitarist Tom Farncombe and drummer Chris Hodges before completing the band with guitarist Sam Taylor. Jamie Watson (producer of Snow Patrol) released the "Carry Me' EP on Edinburgh’s Human Condition Records. The release gained RTP a management contract with Light Music Network and they recorded the debut album with Placebo and Blur knob-twiddler Teo Miller.
With nods of approval from peers like The Automatic and Los Campesinos!, ‘Hope Is Not Enough’, released in late-2008, was supported in the press and on radio and TV: 8/10 NME, 4/5 Gigwise & Rockfeedback; Album of the Week on Huw Stephen’s BBC Radio 1 show; Nomination for Debut Album of the Year 2008 on XFM; 'Half As Much' playlisted on XFM, BBC Radio 1, and BBC 6Music; MTV2 playlist with ‘Undercurrent’ video while the single was also named NME Radio Single of the Week (Neil Cole), BBC 6 Music Single of the Week (Steve Lamacq). The success of the release tempted Universal Music to license the record for Australasia in 2009. First single, ‘Undercurrent’ was recorded with legendary producer Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro) who travelled to Manchester and London to watch the band perform live at their In The City and Camden Crawl showcases, mixing two further tracks for the album.
Now going under acronym RTP the five-piece began recording for the follow-up in August 2010 having signed to new UK Indie label Tip Top Recordings. Their track 'All The Same' is currently being synched as the title track to Channel 4's music show 'On Track' and next single 'All That's Left' (November 22) has been remixed by America's most in demand remix artists RAC, dubstep heavyweight Dan Donovan, and techno wizard Dan Cat. Their second album is due for release in Spring 2011.
