History

Formed in 2015, the group released its debut single "Throw It All Away" that year, shortly before their first major live performance at Hayden's Dream Serenade benefit concert at Massey Hall alongside Joel Plaskett, The Weather Station and Choir! Choir! Choir!. They performed around Ontario with Zeus in November that year, and continued touring in 2016, including at the Hillside Festival in Guelph.
The band's self-titled debut album, containing a mixture of original and cover tunes, was released in August 2016 on Royal Mountain Records. The tracks were recorded live, with some mixing in of vocals and guitar solos. The single "Mind Over Matter" reached #1 on CBC Radio 2's Radio 2 Top 20 chart the week of July 8, 2016.
