The group released its inaugural album WE HERE: Thank You for Noticing with two sold-out performances at Steppenwolf's 1700 Theatre in 2017, and published its first book FIVE FIFTHS in 2018 through Candor Arts.

We need to talk about guns. Everyone wants to say how we as young people should or should not think, but when deadly weapons are brought into our classrooms, we are the only ones who can truly say how we think and feel about our lives. #neveragain
