Having self-released 2 EP’s to date, the band became the first unsigned band to sell out 2 consecutive nights at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut and this led to appearances at T in the Park, Wickerman Festival, Tartan Heart Festival, Loopallu Festival and other festivals.

On the back of the EPs' success, they supported the likes of The Courteeners, The Fratellis, The Wombats and Billy Idol.

The band had their song 'BELIEVE' chosen as the official anthem by the Scotland national football team[2] for The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign which saw them play to 60,000 fans at Celtic Park when Scotland faced England.
