Critics often remark on Blum's strength as a lyricist. They spent their early career promoting self-booked diy solo tours

In 2014, they signed to Don Giovanni records and announced they would be working on a new album produced by Marissa Paternoster of the band Screaming Females. Before that point, they had never worked with a record label and fan-funded or self-funded recording costs. After the Don Giovanni release of "You Look a Lot Like Me" in 2015, Blum began touring nationally as a three piece with a bassist and drummer, contributing to what critics called a "more developed but still gritty, punk" sound.

Blum is a recurring musical and non-musical guest on The Chris Gethard Show. and has had music featured on Logo TV's The Click List: Top 10 Videos and NewNowNext Music
They have contributed non-musical written work to Autostraddle, Huffington Post, and The Fader.
Blum attended State University of New York at Purchase.
