Beginning with playing friend's parties and school halls, their journey saw them play UK arenas with Catfish and the Bottlemen,[citation needed] soundtrack Schuh x Adidas campaign [1] and be named by Variety Magazine as one of 10 Brits to Watch for 2018.[2] Others in this list included; Jorja Smith, Edward Holcroft and Sophie Skelton.
