Their debut album, Bleak Strategies, was released on 1 April 2014 through the Pledgemusic platform.[1] The album saw commercial release on 11 August 2014 through 369 Music.[2]

Album reviews were mostly positive, with Dom Lawson of Classic Rock Magazine stating that Bleak Strategies is "Flawless and exhilarating, this demands to be the soundtrack to all of our waking summer dreams"[3] and Powerpopaholic writing "This is an essential 'do-not-miss' album, that makes my top ten list for 2014".[4]

The band's second album, One Hyde Park, was released on 8 April 2016 to much acclaim, with The Sun awarding it 4.5/5 and commenting that "it's a great pop rock record," and Powerplay Magazine claiming it one of the albums of the year.

In late 2019, the band digitally released "Keeping The Stupid Stupid" and "Made In Heaven" ahead of the release of their third album, See You See Me. The album was released on 28 February 2020.
