In 2017 the band compiled the two EP's to release their debut album ‘Modern Bollotics’ which saw single ‘Popstar’ get play-listed and shortly followed this up with stand-alone single ‘Islands’. The band swiftly followed up their debut with the full-length LP ‘What’s So Great, Britain?’ in 2018.

In June 2019, guitarist Carlos Montero left the band and was replaced by Danny de Ara Torres, drummer Ben Ford left the band to be replaced by Joel Mullin, and Joshua Arter-Taylor was replaced on guitars with Paul Gaul. The band have now parted ways with Rude Records to focus on being an independent band and releasing singles. In 2020 the band self released two singles 'Dad Dance Moves' and 'Muzzle Head' and in 2021: 'I Don't Care'. April 2022 saw the release of a new 4 track EP 'I'm a Believer, I just don't believe ya' which the band claim marked a new era for them. After a departure from bassist Joshua Thexton in 2022 and a sold out hometown show to a 200 capacity Norwich Waterfront Studio show in 2023, the band have prolifically secured support shows across the UK in 2024 and began releasing new music such as the highly acclaimed 'Up All Night' and have promised more new music soon.
