History

Feature was formed in London by drummer/vocalist Jen Calleja (also of the band Sauna Youth) and guitarist/vocalist Liv Willars in 2012.[1]

They played as a duo for two years before they were joined by bassist Heather Perkins of the band Slowcoaches, with whom they released a split single in 2015, as well as touring together.[1][2]

The band also played with American groups like Chain and the Gang, Protomartyr, and the Julie Ruin, and appeared at Supernormal Festival in Oxfordshire.[1]

By the time their first album, Banishing Ritual, was released on 7 April 2017 by Upset the Rhythm, the trio had gone their separate ways.[3][4][5] Willars moved to Sheffield and now plays in Sister Wives; Calleja continued on with Sauna Youth, their alter ego band Monotony, and Gold Foil; while Perkins continued to play with Slowcoaches.[1]
