This first release was followed by another EP New Estate in 2017 which gained them first critical success. The release was supported by hundreds of shows all over Europe eventually landing them a record deal with Irrsinn Tonträger (Universal Music).[6] In 2019 the EP Wild Stare was released with its title track being a top 20 radio hit in Italy[7] and the whole EP racking up more than 50,000,000 world-wide streams on Spotify soon after its release.[8] In 2020 they announced the release of their debut album ROOKERY for 28 August 2020.
