The band was formed in late 2009 in Glasgow . The quartet came to public appearances through befriended bands and luck. Kassidy began writing and recording their music in a shared apartment that they later converted into their personal studio. They released a series of three EPs called The Rubbergum EP (Volume 1 to 3).
The EPs were followed by their debut album Hope St. on May 23, 2011. Just one year later, on April 30, 2012, the second album, One Man Army , came out. Both made it to the top 75 of the UK charts . Kassidy made his first big appearance at the 2011 open-air festival T in the Park in Kinross , Scotland . Short parts of it can be seen in the film Rock in the Park by director David Mackenzie .
On April 8, 2013, the band released their EP People Like Me on iTunes .
The band toured Europe with Lana Del Rey from April 3, 2013 to May 31, 2013 on their Paradise Tour .
