History

Formation and EP
The band first found success after posting their demo to the Triple J Unearthed project. Not long after, they were interviewed by radio DJ Zan Rowe. Their track «Honolulu» was placed on high rotation on national broadcaster Triple J. The band have played at festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, the Laneway Festival, the Falls Festival and Southbound, and have supported bands such as Foals, Matt & Kim, Lost Valentinos and Foster the People. Shortly after the band were approached by the Australian independent music label Dew Process, the band were crowned a «Highlight Gig» of the Australian Music
Conference ‘Big Sound’.

Debut album
In early 2011 the band announced that they had been planning on recording their album after their «Back From The Dead» tour in mid-2010. In June 2011 the band started a Tumblr blog narrating their recording process for the album with producer Jean-Paul Fung at BJB Studios in Sydney, Australia. The album entitled as In a Million Years was released on 2 March 2012. The album made a Australian Top 10 Debut and managed to get to number 8 on the Australian Albums Chart and number 2 on the digital album charts. The band completed the sold out Million Years national tour, with multiple shows in many cities due to ticket demand. The band then completed a tour of the UK and Europe with plans to release the album there in September.
