They are known for performing folk music and sea shanties in the English tradition, and they also compose and record their own music. They gained popularity from their rendition of the 1800s folk song "Wellerman", which went viral on TikTok in early 2021.They released their debut EP, Bones in the Ocean, in 2013, the title track of which is still one of their most popular.
