The group's style fuses hip hop, pop and 1960s rock.^[1] A-Wolf described these characteristics as similar to The Beach Boys and The Beastie Boys.

A single, "Crickets," featuring R&B singer Jeremih, was their first release. A&M/Octone executive VP and head of promotion, Ben Berkman, explained that Jeremih was picked to redo the hook to give it a more rhythmic format. The song makes fun of their own rejections. The single peaked at 36 on the mainstream top 40 chart, at 36 on the hot R&B/hip-hop chart and fell just short of charting on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 102. The group's video for "Crickets" has over four million views. In the fall of 2013, the group released their debut album.^[2]
