The band formed in 2009 while brothers Ben and Brannen Goldman were attending Valdosta State University (Valdosta, Ga.). By 2010 they had already joined forces with Bobby Boyd and Tk Edmondson and released the “People Get Crazy” EP. Then they started touring regionally and by 2012 they had built a fan-base by consistently playing hundreds of shows at the area’s most reputable Venues, Beach Bars, College Bars and Frat Houses. The “People get crazy” EP had sold more than 1000 physical copies and in celebration, the band printed and distributed 1000 free copies at 311’s Pow Wow at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Soon after the Pow Wow, Yamadeo relocated the band to Tallahassee, Fl. /Thomasville, Ga.

The “Doin it” album opened up many new doors for the band including merchandise sales, booking agents, commercial placements, college/regional/national radio spins. Soon after the album’s release the band was booked for direct support for The Dirty Heads at the Coliseum in Tallahassee, Fl.
