The capacity of the room was only seventy but around one hundred people attended, with another one hundred people left outside. Drummer Benny Eissmann joined the band only hours before the performance, after Durrett had posted on his [[Instagram]] story asking whether anybody could play drums for it, with the band's first ever rehearsal taking place the same day. Videos of the performance began gaining traction on [[Twitter]] and in the following week the band were offered spots to perform at FYA Festival and Sound and Fury Festivals.
