[citation needed] After early lineup changes, the band maintained their lineup of lead singer Frankie McLaughlin, bassist Johnny McKelvey, drummer Anthony Matters, guitarist Gabriel Whitbourne, and banjo/mandolin/bouzouki player Adam Kenny recording three critically acclaimed albums together: Gangs of New Holland (2010), Sober and Godless (2015), and Sleeping Rough (2016), before Matters' left after their 2016 European tour.

[7] The band had an international breakthrough with their 2011 single, "An Irish Pub Song", which was taken from the 2010 album Gangs of New Holland.

The song is an observational commentary on the fact that there are Irish-styled pubs in every part of the world as well as a protest against what the band saw as a commercialization and inauthentic expression of Irish diaspora culture.

[9] In early 2018 the band recorded their fourth studio album Saints Preserve Us over two weeks in Milan, Italy at Crono Sound Factory.

At the end of 2018, the band toured Southeast Asia for the first time and went to Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
