Rock duos seem to be on-trend right now, and we've got another awesome new duo to add to the growing list in Scottish rockers Huxtable.

Introducing: The Firelight Opera
We've met plenty of bands that have two or maybe three members that chip in on singing duties, but one that amasses four vocalists may well be a first for us.
