The group have sold over 1 million albums worldwide, while their latest album hit number one on the UK Albums Chart.
The group met while they were students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and released several EPs before their 2006 album Girls, Boys and Marsupials, which was released only in Japan.
Their debut studio album, A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, was released in 2007 & featured some tracks first released on Girls, Boys and Marsupials.
After releasing another EP in 2008 and touring for three years, the band released their second album, This Modern Glitch, in 2011.
They released their third album, Glitterbug, in 2015 and their fourth, Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, in February 2018.
