Since their formation in 2006, they have toured with Little Comets, Fighting With Wire, The Wombats, One Night Only, The Pigeon Detectives, The Enemy, Jet and Kids in Glass Houses.
Leacock and Strathern hadn't enjoyed the music being played in the band and so the pair decided to form General Fiasco as an outlet for the pop rock they had desired to write.
[1] The band started to receive plays from Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq, Colin Murray, Huw Stephens, John Kennedy, Rigsy on Across The Line, Jenny Huston and Sara Cox and was playlisted at Xfm.
It was around this time that the band won "Best Song" for "The Age You Start Losing Friends" at the first-ever Northern Ireland Music Awards that took place at Ulster Hall, Belfast on 2 November 2011.
[5] The band released new EP Waves on 14 November 2011,[6] having just completed a tour of Britain and Ireland to promote it the previous month.
[9] On Wednesday 6 June 2012 General Fiasco headlined a free concert to celebrate the Olympic torch relay's stop that day in Belfast, after having passed through Northern Ireland and Dublin.
[10] On 20 June 2012 the band released the video for "Bad Habits", their next single due out the same day as new album Unfaithfully Yours (30 July 2012).
