[edit | edit source]

2013–2016: Formation and Origin

[edit | edit source]

The band formed in 2013[5] and released their debut EP Origin on 9 June 2014.[6] The EP was preceded by three singles and nearly an entire album's worth of (currently lost) songs.

2017–2018: Mono and line-up change

[edit | edit source]

In July 2017, the band's 2017 released its debut studio album titled, Mono. This is short for monochromatic, which means, "involving or producing visual images in a single color or in varying tones of a single color".[7] This title and its association tease the lyrical content which deals strongly in themes of trauma and depression.[8]

On 9 February 2018, MusicFeeds reported lead vocalist Aidan Ellaz was ejected from the band due to allegations of sexual assault.

In June 2018, Lochie Keogh and Mitch Fogarty were announced as new members.[9]

2019–2023: Fault and A Quiet Place to Die

[edit | edit source]

In April 2019, the band released Fault EP, with guitarist Sabian Lynch saying "Fault is our way of opening up, and doing our best to show that it's okay to mess up, it's okay to fail, it's okay [to] make mistakes, as long as we can find ways grow from it. We always want to be honest with our song writing and these songs showcase a realisation within ourselves, thus creating the best music we've ever been a part of."[10]

The band's second studio album, A Quiet Place to Die was released on 25 September 2020.

The band released the EP, Shh, on 31 March 2023.[11]
