Following the departure of Gaytan, Robby DeVito took over as guitarist. They released their first full-length album, Feeding Fiction, in 2014. It was produced by David Bendeth, who has previously worked with artists including Paramore, Of Mice and Men, and Breaking Benjamin. On April 14, 2014, the band released the first single, "Pressure Point", from their first album.Their first work, the Nothing You Didn't Deserve EP, was released on October 16, 2012. Sputnikmusic said that the album was "not reinventing the wheel or anything, but for the most part it's a concise effort from a talented group. It's enjoyable and it's solid all around. And while it's not the most original, it's impressive nonetheless. Don't blow this EP off for the simple fact that it's been done before. Go into it with an open mind. It definitely should not be ignored".
