Back in August 2009, a young five-piece visited the BBC Oxford Introducing studios to play a session for presenters Tim Bearder and Dave Gilyeat. Their name was Spring Offensive and the session marked the release of their debut self-titled EP. Here's the band performing an acoustic version of The River from the EP:

They've been gigging hard since then and have just released their debut mini-album, titled Pull Us Apart. Tom Robinson is also a big fan of the band and has played them previously on his 6 Music show.

This week, they're our BBC Introducing Tip of the Week, with the track A Let Down.



Over to you, Mr. Stephens:
