After developing some of the songs Brooks had written, the pair decided to recruit Louis Hardy and Alex Wizard of fellow-Leeds hardcore band Higher Power to play guitar and drums, respectively. On 22 October 2017, they played a sold-out show at the Camden Underworld with Trapped Under Ice, Higher Power, King Nine and Chamber.
