Envy & Other Sins won T4's mobileAct unsigned in the live final on 23 December, 2007. The Birmingham-based band beat Lily Allen's favourites, Revenue, to walk away with a record deal from A&M Records, headed by mobileAct judge Simon Gavin.
Envy & Other Sins were announced winners at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith after an online public vote deemed them the best unsigned band in Britain. Alongside Simon Gavin, the judging panel comprised Radio 1's Jo Whiley and Blur's Alex James.
Following their triumph, Envy & Other Sins will introduce the world to their unique brand of 'furniture rock' via self-penned single, "Highness", due for release on 11th February 2008. The single was recorded at Olympic Studios, where the band is currently working on their debut album, which will be released on 3rd March, 2008.
Jarvey Moss, Envy & Other Sins pianist, came up with this natty little soundbite: "This is the dawning of the age of furniture rock - we never expected our big break to be on a reality show; we've always been about making music and now we've got the chance to do it on a bigger stage."
