The band debuted in 2016 with their single "Astrovan", recorded in Los Angeles by Quinn, Cooper, and Byrnes.[3] This was followed up in 2017 by the trio of singles "Sheep", "Cardinal", and "Silver Lining", with "Silver Lining" eventually charting at the top spot of the Billboard Triple A charts.[4]
In 2018, the band released their self-titled debut album, Mt. Joy.[5]
History[edit]
2016–2017: Origin[edit]
Having first met during high school in Philadelphia, front runners Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper reunited in Los Angeles in 2016 to begin working on music. They recorded the single "Astrovan" with their future bandmate Michael Byrnes in September of that year.[3] The single's rapid success drew the three to add Sotiris Eliopoulos and Andrew Butler to the group, with the newly five-piece band recording additional singles together.
2017–Present: Mt. Joy[edit]
The self-titled debut album Mt. Joy, named after a mountain in Philadelphia near where Cooper and Quinn grew up, was released on March 2nd, 2018.[2][5] The band is currently touring the U.S. with a European tour to come in late 2018.
