Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Featherz (formerly The Feathers) are a Welsh and English band with glam and punk influences (self-styled as "Flock Rock") led by Danie Centric (known as Danie Cox prior to January 2018, born 15 December 1990 in Bridgend) on lead vocals and guitar. Centric formed the band with two fellow former members of Poussez Posse (aka Georgie Girl And Her Poussez Posse), a band fronted by Georgina Baillie and mentored by Adam Ant. After leaving Baillie and Ant to form their own group, they received press coverage in the Ipswich Star,[1] Wales On Sunday,[2] Basingstoke Gazette,[3] website Louder Than War[4][5][6][7][8] and rock magazine Vive Le Rock who included their track "RNR★" on the free CD with the January/February 2014 edition (issue 16).[9][10][11] They also completed a UK national tour supporting Boy George, in three of whose videos Centric appeared[2] and subsequently toured with The Damned.[10][12]
