Music Awards alongside No Doubt and Dirty Heads. Throughout 2015 and 2016, the group released a self-titled EP, Well Hung Heart, earning them 16 weeks of airplay (six weeks at number one) with their single "Touch The Sky" on KROQ FM’s Locals Only Show hosted by DJ Kat Corbett. For their single "Touch The Sky", Well Hung Heart created one of the first 360 VR Music Videos, earning them over half a million views on Facebook.[5]
