NED originally begun life as a two piece after Nicole saw Vaughan playing a solo show and offered to put a beat behind him having previously never played the drums. After gigging for a couple of months friend and long time collaborator Luis Correia joined taking on the role of producer and guitarist and the band quickly finished the recording process of their debut album in Vaughan's living room in Camden Town, London. 'A New Normal' was released in April and has garnered strong reviews with 'Sound Of Confusion' saying "...this album has a message, and this message is delivered in a way that shows intelligence and also a good level of songwriting. We could do with a few more bands tackling the facts head-on." and Rock Sound calling them ''an unmissable live prospect''. The final jigsaw was completed when Rob Glenister joined on bass and the band now plan to develop songs for their next record.
