They released their first video single, ‘Listen’, in January, 2016 and their first album - Flicker Flicker Flash - in March 2016. In 2017, they were selected by Abbey Road Studios as the winners of their All India Mixing and Mastering competition. They have been interviewed by two of India’s most popular radio stations, All India Radio and Radio One, and featured in the UK based Scribbler and Soundsphere magazines. They released their second video single, ‘Everyone’, in December 2017, and are currently working on their second album.
