History

The band is a combination of two earlier Charlotte acts: Campbell the Band and Margolnick's solo work. In late 2011, the band signed to Bright Antenna Records.

The band toured with The Wombats in spring 2012. Reviewers noted the band's "power and emotion," coupled with their songs' "dreamlike quality."
