The band released their second single "Colours To Life" in June 2013. They then enlisted fellow Kettering resident drummer, Samuel Lloyd Toms (Secret Fix, ex-Koolaid Electric Company) and keyboard player Adam Smith and started rehearsing as a band, so they could play their songs live, having never played live as a band before. The duo uploaded four self-produced tracks to YouTube which caught the attention of Heavenly Recordings founder Jeff Barrett who agreed to release the band's debut single in the form of "Shelter Song" in November 2012. Sukie were featured in the fanzine "Siren", edited and created by Walmsley to document Kettering's music scene. The duo had later worked together in The Moons, with Bagshaw also having sessioned with the Lightning Seeds and co-fronted another earlier Kettering band Sukie who formed in 2006 and charted at No 1 in the UK Indie Chart with their debut single "Pink-A-Pade". It was at this point that Bagshaw and Walmsley were in rival bands based in their hometown of Kettering. Walmsley and Bagshaw had known each other for years before these projects. The band was initially formed as a home studio project in mid 2012.
