'Ordinary Love', written for Mandela:Long Walk To Freedom was among this week's nominations for Best Original Song at the 2014 Academy Awards. The band have been speaking about what a great honour it is.

"We are humbled and honoured that Ordinary Love has been nominated for an Oscar… it was a privilege to be asked to write a song for this extraordinary film, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, and to help tell this extraordinary love story. We have been working for this great man since we were teenagers and for our song to be recognised in this way by the Academy is beyond our wildest teenage dreams."
