While the band were never fully part of a formal scene in California, they frequently played with local bands such as Summer Vacation (later Winter Break) at venues like VLHS and 12th and G. As they grew in prominence, they became part of the broader emo revival scene that included bands like Tigers Jaw , the Menzingers , Title Fight , and Touché Amoré . In 2010, the band signed with 6131 Records, who gave the foursome a small budget to tackle their first full-length. The band’s debut, self-titled album saw release in January 2011, and included the single ” Constant Headache “, which became their signature song. Though pop-punk had largely faded from the commercial spotlight, the band’s popularity rose through word-of-mouth from fans online, particularly on Tumblr . Punknews named it their “2011 Album of the Year” and it landed the band on many year-end best-of lists.
