In October 2016, the group released its first song, "Despierta" (Spanish for "awake"), which criticized then-U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, as part of the 30 Days, 30 Songs project.[2] The group intends to release its debut album in 2017.[3] "Any Kind of Crowd", the group's debut single, was released on March 1, 2017, with a 7" release that includes a cover of the song "Editions of You" on Kill Rock Stars the following April 22.[4] Their debut album, Invitation, was announced June 20 along with lead single "The Arrival".[5]
