Despite Aggs living in London and Rodgers in Glasgow, they set about recording their debut EP after signing to the Mogwai-owned label Rock Action.
[2][3] The band then embarked on a UK tour in support of the record, during which they played alongside acts like Mogwai, Veronica Falls, Tuff Love, and Future Islands.
In the same year they also performed a BBC 6 Music session for DJ Marc Riley, and appeared at Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival.
[3] Aggs continued to play in both Shopping and Trash Kit, but in spite of this, they and Rodgers were dedicated enough to find the time to record Sacred Paws' debut LP.
[3] Their first full-length album Strike a Match (released 27 January 2017) combined an Afrobeat sound influenced by Fela Kuti with post-punk and indie resembling the likes of Delta 5.
