The 2016 album was shortlisted for both the Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year and the 2017 Polaris Music Prize in 2017, as well as garnering a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for the song "Shithole".
The band's second full-length album, Wide Open, was released on October 6, 2017. It was shortlisted for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018. In 2018 they received another SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for the song "Walkaway", and the album was a shortlisted finalist for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.
