Fellow 6 Music DJs Lauren Laverne, Radcliffe & Maconie, Cerys Matthews, and Mary Anne Hobbs have also been major supporters; DJ Marc Riley hosted the band for several live sessions.

[citation needed] As the band prepared to release their third album Bashed Out in late 2014 and early 2015, they began to receive more attention from online and print critics.

[6] The band also appeared in the BBC One television series Wanderlust, playing in a night club that Toni Colette's character Joy attended.

Their song was noted as a standout with Drowned in Sound stating: "its personal touch is largely what makes This Is The Kit the British highlight, not to mention that of the compilation as a whole".

[12] The recording sessions drew on the talents of the Stables' extended musical community including Rozi Plain, Jim Barr, Francois & the Atlas Mountains and The Liftmen.

[21] The band has toured regularly in support of acts including The National,[22] Sharon Van Etten,[23] Iron & Wine[24] and Herman Dune.
