With their debut album Kick It into Gear released April 2015, they began to play everywhere they could in 2015, slowly building a small but loyal fanbase playing at venues like Chain Reaction & DiPiazza's.

 

Signed to Independent Label Wright Records in Fall of 2015, their 2nd album Dreamin' was released on April 1st, 2016 to very positive reception due to the music expanding on their sound of straight up punk rock, incorporation of acoustics, harmonies, & craftier songwriting to push the limits even further. Their song Kansas Bound was even featured in Orange County Music League's Summer Sampler Compilation. 

After Parting ways with Wright Records in 2018, the band put out more music on their own with singles Be Here Tonight, Falling Stars & the E.P Scraps as well as playing as many shows as they could which began acquiring them local notoriety. In doing so, they established a monthly residency at a venue called "Perqs" in Huntington Beach, appeared on a KROQ Local's Only Session & put together their first tour ever in summer 2019.

While 2020 came with a global pandemic and shutdown, the band still released what would be their 3rd album Lobotomized on September 1st, 2020.

With fan favorite songs like Don't Call, Wildflower, Avenger and Rigor Mortis  - it still sits among their most listened to material
