Their second album Make Room was included in Maximumrocknroll's top 10 albums of 2018. The band was formed by Roditis and Mayugba on 6 October 2015[5] as an acoustic project, intending for Roditis to play drums and Mayugba to sing and play guitar.[6] Their name was taken from the words that Mayugba wrote on her chalkboard at home during a period of relationship troubles.[7] They released their debut EP "Mom Jeans" digitally in 2015 with Roditis singing and Mayugba on acoustic guitar.[8] Not long after, Knight's mother said she would not continue paying for his drums lesson unless he joined a band, leading to him contacting Mayugba, whom he knew as the child of Phallucy guitarist Sonny Mayugba and the Skirts vocalist Lynn Mayugba.[9] She replied by sending him their EP, which he was impressed by, leading to him joining the group, and Mayugba moving onto electric guitar.[6] On April 6, 2016, via their former record label "donut warriors", they released the EP "Grimester", their first release with Knight.[8] On February 4, 2017, they released two singles, "Methatonin" and "Gold Medal".[10] Enzo Malaspina of Mt.
