[3][4] Called "Nova Scotia's rising star" by The Scene magazine, they[5] have toured with Plaskett as well as with Ron Sexsmith.

They became interested in music via classic rock; among their favourite artists in their early teens were Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Ozzy Osbourne.

[8] When they found themself grounded for two months by their parents at age 16, they began writing songs in earnest and listening to singer/songwriters such as Elliott Smith.

At around the same age, they also began to draw inspiration from the indie rock world, thanks to exposure to the films of Wes Anderson, and the adventurous soundtracks he favors.

Two years later, Plaskett's manager called Kenney with the news that they were invited to attend Gordie Sampson's Songcamp in Cape Breton.

[4][8] In March 2013, the album received an East Coast Music Association award nomination for Rising Star Recording of the Year.
