After Playing bars and anywhere he could with just an acoustic guitar and a hand full of songs he released his first self produced EP in 2005. The EP received critical acclaim from many Manchester/north west websites and magazines like Losing Today, Manchester music, Gigwise, Collectivezine, City Life and High Voltage. This led to live sessions on BBC Leeds, BBC GMR, Revolution, All Fm, Wfm and Channel M.
Manchester promoters Popart, Arc and Northern Ambition began to give Garron support slots with signed/touring and up-and-coming bands. After playing a gig for Nick Georgia at Popart, Garron met producer, musician and one time member of The Willard Grant Conspiracy, Simon Alpin. The result was them making the debut album.
