Kollin Johannsen, the quartet spent 2011 and early 2012 honing their live skills with the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and
Grouplove before heading into the studio to lay down tracks for their debut EP, the Republic-issued Lido, which included their Hype Machine-fueled hit online single, "Little Games." The band's self-titled debut LP followed in early 2014. ~ James Christopher Monger
