The group is represented by The Kirby Organization for national booking.

The album's success was pivotal for the band, propelling them to over 50 million total streams and more than 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. "Fire In Her Eyes" is their most-streamed song, with over 36 million plays on the platform, contributing significantly to their growing national profile and tour opportunities with artists such as Koe Wetzel and Zach Bryan.
