Roche had heard The Nolans – of which his mother was a member – performing " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" when he was four and suggested that the band cover it. The band was originally called Relics and their initial fame was through cover releases posted on YouTube in an interview with Metro, Roche divulged that they had performed a number of covers of songs – "stuff like " Ignition" and " Thong Song"" and then decided to do "a more personality driven cover". They were later joined by Charley Bagnall through mutual friends and finally Lewi Morgan was the last addition to the band after meeting Jake through a girl he was seeing at the time. Jake Roche (son of actor Shane Richie and former The Nolans member Coleen Nolan) and former Push Baby member Danny Wilkin started writing together after they left school.
