History

In March 2009, their track ' Top Gear' was featured on BBC Radio 1, meaning the band made it to national airwaves three months before the outfit performed its first gig.
In 2010, the band announced a clothing endorsement with Police-883, the fashion company's first endorsement of its kind. The band appeared several times in the MTV drama Being Victor in the same.
Their 2011 single "Fight or Flight" was picked up by Electric Honey (label), which released it as a 7" Vinyl. Electric Honey is most famous for helping out Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol, and Belle & Sebastian in their early years.
In 2012, the band was nominated for Best Live Act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and then signed to UK independent label Integrity Records.
Between 2012 and 2014, the band worked on their debut album at Beetroot Studios in Airdrie. In 2014, without explanation, the band broke up and their album, In The Spirit of Everything, was posthumously released as a digital download.
