Speaking to Hot Press last year, O'Donohoe said that the band don't prescribe to a single style or genre, rather they " always – maybe selfishly – make music that we want to make. We’re not afraid of having to stick in a certain lane, or do a certain thing because of what we’ve done previously."

The band sold out the Olympia Theatre themselves, supported Westlife during a massive gig at Croke Park, and have so far notched up an audience of over 120,000 monthly Spotify listeners.
