Charlie Whaley and George Morgan came together on an idea of forming a Melodic-Post-Rock sound. After a few band practices and idea sessions, they would write their first two songs "Soldiers" and "The Element". It took a while to solidify the band, as they needed a drummer.

Sit down with The Plea and they’ll bend your ear about music for hours. They’ll debate their favorite Rolling Stones songs, Hamburg-era versus mid-60s Beatles and whether Be Here Now was better than Definitely Maybe.

Ask them about their own music, however, and they’ll tell you their only aim is to emulate their idols.
