This was showcased when a screenshot taken by keys player Joss was featured on popular Twitter page LADbible after a prank in which his phone number was placed on Gumtree alongside an advert for kittens and he was inundated with responses.

Robert Milton, Joss Van Wilder and Lawrence 'Trev' Cole met at the West Bridgford School.

They first played as "Dog is Dead", together with Trev, at the school concert "Bridgstock", taking their name from a favourite joke at the time.

[6] Trev brought in one of his old friends from Primary School, Lawrence Libor, to become the band's original full-time drummer.

In 2008 they started performing live at many venues in Nottingham, including the Bodega Social Club, Junction 7 and at the city's 'Splendour' festival.

[17] During 2011 Lawrence Libor decided to leave the band to pursue a career in theatre, later writing and performing music as a solo artist under the name "Clay Shaped Boy".

The band continued to tour extensively, both as a headline act and as support for Bombay Bicycle Club and Viva Brother.

[21][22] The band continued to write and tour, releasing the EP Fast Food in 2015, and their second album, The State We're In, in December 2016.
