History

Formation

The band released their debut single "Vitamin C" through Babe Magnet/Polydor in July 2015 to praise from the likes of DIY Magazine and The Line of Best Fit.

2017 – present

In February 2017, the band announced via their social media pages and press that their debut album Felt would be coming later that year. The album was released on 5 May 2017.
In October 2017, Mike and Evelyn announced on SoundCheck Podcast that they had started work on their second album the same day they finished Felt. It was also announced that they would be parting ways with Polydor for their next release with a desire to go independent for more creative freedom.
