[10] In 2013 the band self-released their second single, "Born Young and Free", before the band signed to Roadrunner Records and released "Move Shake Hide". [9] Both singles received high praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Daniel P Carter and Huw Stephens. The band released the single "Why Do You Hate Me?" on 17 March 2014. [11]
