Background
The group was founded in 2010 and that same year won the Music Live event, finishing second at the Belgian edition of Kunstbende. Their musical breakthrough came when the two brothers won Humo's Rock Rally as teenagers in 2012, held at the Ancienne Belgique, finishing ahead of groups like Geppetto & The Whales to become successors of School is Cool.
In March 2013 they released their first EP 'Mess with Us' along with their first single 'The Reeling'. The single temporarily topped Studio Brussel's De Afrekening list on 27 April 2013 and spent six weeks in the Flemish Ultratop 50. During summer 2013 they performed at festivals including Lokerse Feesten and Pukkelpop. Their debut album 'Silver Souls' was released on 6 May 2016.
