In 2006, the band released an EP, Lost Soul's Church, on the label Feedback Underground, distributed by Tuba Records.

In 2010 their debut album, Outskirts of Love, was released on the label Big Dipper Records. On 13 January 2013, the band's second album, Nightbeat Love was released, to great critical acclaim.
