Currently based in Glasgow they have been making waves in the Scottish music scene through a string of supports and tours with bands such as Idlewild, Panic! at the Disco, Feeder and Twin Atlantic to name a few. Furthermore, this summer saw the band play many festivals such as T in the Park and Wickerman.

The band released their new EP in June on the King Tuts Recordings record label. This label has previously released singles for acts such as The Dykeenies, Twin Atlantic and The Xcerts. This was accompanied by a headline release show in King Tuts Wah Wah Hut as part of the Summer Nights Festival.
