History[edit]
The first several years after the band's formation were spent in relative obscurity; however, they began to see a drastic spike in popularity between 2003 and 2006, thanks in large part to favorable reviews from prominent music publications such as NME and Pitchfork Media.[citation needed]
The band were also the subject of an episode of the MTV2 documentary series This is Our Music in 2006. Their song 'Uh' was also featured in an episode of Breaking Bad and an episode of British sci-fi series Misfits. 'Collarbone' was featured on an episode of the US adaptation of the British teen drama Skins, while 'Vagaries of Fashion' was featured on an episode of How To Get Away With Murder.
